Poland by Bicycle

Cycling along with hiking is one of the best ways of visiting and discovering Poland. For a successful cycling tour of Poland there are some preparations to be made before you start. An expedition into picturesque located suburban areas is an excellent pastime for families. Cycling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in Poland today with cycling trails often running through forests. Many towns have cycling circuits around the more interesting parts near a town. EuroVelo has many trails around Poland. In Tourist Information Offices you will find more about the possibilities of visiting a region on your bicycle and there you will be able to buy special maps and guides about cycling in the region. Having decided on a cycling holiday remember that you have to put your bicycle in the baggage wagon of the train. If there is no wagon of this type than you have to store your bicycle at the end of a wagon, trying not to block the exits. In town there might be a problem with public transport and your bicycle. There is a little room for bicycles on a bus and you can take your bicycle in the bus if it is not crowded and the driver permits. Cyclists in Poland should wear a helmet. They should also have special insurance and carry with them a mobile phone for all events. When leaving your bicycle unattended outside a shop, for example, please leave it securely chained up.
