I think that this is what modern people need - protect an enviroment with style. It's good to be a 'bicycle activist'. I am a huge fan of bicycle and I can't imagine live without bicycle journeys with my family or friends. Bicycle is more ecological than car. We should think about it choosing the way of transport. It doesn't matter how old you are - bicycles are very popular in every country. Nowadays bicycle is a part of massive culture. It's cool to care about enviroment. You can buy stylish bike and be original. Also you have to remember about the rules on the roads - you have to respect traffic laws. You musn't be public menace on the road. Bicycles are cool and easy way to protect the enviroment.

In my opinion bicycles are future of the world. I think that they are the best way to care about environment. This kind of transport doesn't need oil or fuel so they are really ecological.What's more they are good choose because they help us to keep fit. Bicycles are also more safe than other kind of transport. Bicycle accidents are less often and injuries aren't so serious. I am a follower of bicycle because my mother is a big fan of it and when I was small child I used to cycle on trip.When I have to choose between a car or a bicycle I definitely choose the second option because I am in the class with a profil "environmental protection" and fight against pollution is very importent for me.
In conclusion I hope cycling will be as popular in Poland as it is in the Netherlands.

I think, that bicycles are good a way to care about environment and they are very important of the world. Bicycles are cheap, ecological and help to keep fit and healthy. I very like ride a bike and I consider, that they are the best kind of transport. My favourite day is September on 22, because it's Global Day Without Car. Although more people don't like bicycles, because they are too slow on September 22 they choose just bicycle. What a pity, that Global Day Without Car don't exist all the time. Is't very sad but if people don't change car on bicycle, they'll slow but efficient destroy the environment. I promise, that I'll choose bicycle, because I'm environmentally conscious.

When people 200 years ago invented bicycle they knew what they did. Bicycle, everyone knows this word. Why? So it is the most popular mean of transport all over the world. Bikes have a lot of advantages: they are cheap, you don't have to have special powers and they don't harm our planet. We have to protect the Earth and should choose bicycles instead of smoky cars. I love traveling by bike with my friends. It is the best way to sightseeing our region, discover nature. I want to be fit, so I exercise cycling very often. My parents aren't afraid of me, because bicycle is a safe mean of transport. I think that I can't live without bike and it is the most wonderful mean of transport.

I think that bicycles are the best way of transport nowadays, because they are ecological and they don’t need any fuel to be driven. There are more and more bikes in Poland these days. The pleasures of cycling tours were discovered in Poland many years ago. For example we have in Poland The Warsaw Cycling Society, which was established in 1884. The popularity of cycling trips nowadays due to the fact that trails run through forests, mountains, along various water- ways and roads with little car traffic. The majority of cycling trails lead through beautiful landscapes and far way from cities. Poland has thousands of kilometres of cycling trails. Bicycle is my favourite mean of transport, because it is not only good for my health, but also I can use it when I go on a trips with my friends and family.

I utterly enjoyed those articles and blogs about bikes, because I really like cycling. To my mind, in Poland it would be hard to achieve such high level of a bike lifestyle. In our country there aren't so many roads for bicycles. For the Dutch it so obvious that they don't go shopping by car, but they ride a bike. It is a different culture. Poles are still fascinated that they can buy cheap cars from western countries. I think it isn't good, because of global environment. Cars aren't ecological in contrast to bikes. Cycling can also help to one's health and physical disposition.
I would like to be a cycle chic. I will wear my high heel shoes and a skirt to ride. For sure I won't forget about a helmet. I will respect road law and ride with grace. I will ride with my friends through the town and take some photos. In my opinion it will be a great fun. weronika bednarska <3

Promotion riding a bicycle is very good idea. I thing, that bicycles are he best means of transport. They have a lot of good side. Firstly bicycles are very cheap. They don't need any fuel to riding. They rarely break down and their repair isn't difficult. Secondly bicycles are very ecological. They don't emit any exhaust fumes. Thirdly bicycles are very healthy. When we ride a bicycle we get fit and we can breathe fresh air if we are out towns. Bicycles are convenient means of transport in town. If we ride a bicycle we mustn't stay in traffic jam. I very like excursion by bicycle with me friends. We often ride in forest or to like. When I get to elementary school I went there by bicycle. I think, that in Poland aren't enough bicycle patches so riding a bicycle in Poland isn't as popular as example in Denmark.

Bicycle is not really the best way of travel nowadays. Increasing number of cars maybe modifi this way of thinking. But many roads in Poland don't include bicycle motorway. That's very dangerous when on cramped road bicycles are riding between cars. Lots of drivers are uncivil and upsett them. In Netherlands it's better because there people started thinking before cars thronged roads. Rules of the road there are made with priority for bicycles.
Many accidents in Poland are caused of bicycles, drunk riders or drivers. Most of them die. That's sad what happens. But Polish rules also wrong users of bicycles.
It's maybe protecting environment but in the future we need faster vehicles. Anyway people are heading to wreck.

Style over speed? Sounds interesting for me. I like bicycles and all of things that are connected with them. So, that kind of fun is just fitted to me. I am not kind of person, who likes to ride for speed. For me, bicycle is thing which everyone should have in home or garage, and which everyone should use so often as it possible. But, most of all, it should be used for travel. The slow bicycle movement is something special. It's teaching people, how to turn bicycle into extension of soul and body. I will join for this definitely, because it is something that could be made just for me. It's perfect, I like it!

When I was younger, I had very liked cycling. I always rode with my parents or friends. My opinion bicycle is really useful, becouse it can serve as city centre transpotr or method on unknow journey. Excep besides bicycles are friendly for environment. They don't need fuel and they aren't harmful for environment, becouse they don't secrete fumes into the atmosphere.
My friend live in huge city and every mornings goes to work. before he spent much money on bus' tickets or he sometimes was late. Two mounth ago he bought a bicycle and now he's very satisfied with this purchase. This is one of the much examples, that bicycle is very wise invention. I think bicycles become most popular with passage of time in Poland. I think this is very good custom.

Couple years ago in Poland was tradition; godfather bought bike for his godchild for first communion,
J think it was great idea, child’s was riding on the bike and being happy, unfortunately now computers replaced bikes. When J was young, J was riding on the bike to the school, so cycling is near for me. J think this sport is great idea for every person, If you want loss some pounds you should move your fat ass and just started riding on the bike. Bicycles are much better for environment than cars and all mechanicals vehicles. In my city a lot of peoples use bikes to move to school or job, sometimes they want save some many and time, but a big part of them just love it, and I’m that person.
