By bicycle from Sector 3 to Dobroeşti

Spin from Bucharest’s Sector 3 to nearby Dobroești on a short, mostly flat 6.2 km ride. You’ll roll out through calm neighborhood streets and access roads, with just a brief busier stretch—nothing dramatic, but stay alert and signal early. About 86% of the route is smooth asphalt; expect a couple of short mixed or uncertain patches where you might meet some gravel or rougher edges.

Elevation is minimal (just gentle ups and downs), so it’s an easy cruise. Sector 3 is known for Parcul Alexandru Ioan Cuza (Titan Park)—a nice spot to top up bottles before you go. Dobroești sits on the northeastern edge of the city in Ilfov County, close to the Colentina chain of lakes; it’s a quiet finish if you want to cool down or grab a snack from a local shop.

Tip: lights and a bell help on those short busier sections and at side-street crossings.
