Hi,
Has anyone cycled from Porto Airport to the city centre by bike if so what is the best route.Would it be better to get the Metro in as far as Trinidad and cycle from there. Can you take assembled bikes on metro. Thanks.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
I take it no one has done this, So its going to be an adventure I will let you know how it goes.

A follow up to my first post.
1. Landed in Porto Airport.
2. Assembled bike in Porto airport beside excess baggage area, No problem leaving boxes, staff said it was ok they would look after it so guess we were not the first to do this.
3. Wheel bike inside terminal building take lift down to metro station, get ticket from machine it is in many languages, get ticket to Le Trinidad, get on at last carriage on tram as there is room for bike they travel free.
4. Get off tram at Le Trinidad although I think it would be ok to travel to end of line no changes, get off at station short trip downhill to centre of city.
5. Cycle to Santiago no problems via coast.
6. At Santiago there are a number of companies touting for business at the pilgrim office offering to box and transport bikes anywhere in world.
7. We used http://www.elvelocipedo.com/Velocipedo/Ingles/indexI.html cost €21 to pack bike and they arranged transport to Airport by taxi cost €24. They speak English at shop and are well organised I would recommend them, they allowed us leave Luggage in shop as we explored city before getting taxi.
8. Super trip, Highly recommend it, we did not have high spec Mountain bikes but no problems on trip anyone want to know more just ask.
9. We cycled coastal route from Porto to Santiago then onto Finisterre and Muxia.

I did not bike but drove my car several times in Porto.
It is fairly risky to drive in Porto
Portuguese are very kind people but as soon they are behind the steering wheel they are like devils.. Very impatient and hot temper.
As suggested try to get to the coast from the airport and bike on the boardwalk which you almost can follow into the citycenter. There I should step off and walk on the pavement.Trindade station is almost in the city center.
Do not drive your bike directly from the airport via Maia unless you like to challenge life.very busy roads ,fast driving cars ,trucks and busses.
Nowadays I leave my car far away from the center and take the metro as I recently did in Porto as well in Lisbon .
Bom caminho.
