riding in lisbon is much worse than madrid. it's not only the taxi drivers that don't respect riders, it's pretty much everyone else. it's a fucking jungle!
the pavement is crap, lots of holes and cracks, unused tram rails waiting to grab your wheels and shove you to the ground, pedestrians coming off the sidewalks to your narrow 1m space because of cars parked on the sidewalks, etc.
if you survive riding in lisbon daily you'll ace every other city.
i know, i'm a bike messenger here, and boy is it tough.
