On a recent trip to southern Poland, we had the chance to visit the beautiful city of Krakow.
Its Old City is registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is large but easily navigated on foot.
For those who want to ride, though - to move more quickly or to points farther afield - the city has a public bicycle rental system.
It is similar to Barcelona's Bicing, Paris's Velib, and Kyoto's Community Cycle.
The Bike One program debuted in 2008. To use the bikes, one must register and make a deposit so it is perhaps better suited for residents than short-term visitors.
The city is criss-crossed by tram routes, so automobile traffic is not usually a problem.
The bikes are sturdy and useful for trips to the Jewish Quarter, Nowa Suta, and other places.
