Wroclaw Poland Bicycle Lane

ポランドヴロツワフの自転車専用レーン

Wroclaw, Poland, has a decent network of bicycle lanes.

Most, if not all, lanes are not separated from the rest of the street or sidewalks.

However, there does not seem to be a need for barriers and other measures often used in other cities.

The trams and buses that run throughout the city are ubiquitous and frequent enough that automobile traffic is not horrific.

Bicycles are an established part of the fabric of the city's public transportation.

The lane pictured above is just north of the main square in the Old City. The bike lane is demarcated merely by the white lane and the symbol of a bike.

The cobblestones and doorways created a wonderful backdrop for the lane.

Bike Parking in Wroclaw Poland

ポランドヴロツワフの自転車駐輪所

Among the many charms of cycling in Wroclaw, Poland, are the ubiquitous parking "lots" - arty metal sculptures to which you lock your bicycle.

Found throughout much of central Wroclaw, these lock stands are usually packed full with bicycles.

This one (top right), near the city's Duchowne Seminary, was empty and there was little pedestrian traffic in the area.

The park to the left of the photo was also nearly empty.

More typical is the situation below left, in the Main Square of the city's Old City.

Cycling in Wroclaw Poland

ポーランドのヴロツワフでサイクリング

Wroclaw, Poland's fourth largest city, is one of the most beautiful cities in the country.

It is located in southwestern Poland in what was at various times in history a part of Germany.

Until 1945, the city was called Breslau and controlled by Germany.

After suffering terrible damage during World War II, then neglect during the decades of communist rule, the city today is vibrant and attractive.

It is a city of rivers and trams, squares and parks - and very good for cycling.

Bike lanes run through much of the city and along the river path that runs from Podwale.

Bicycle docking stations already have appeared in the main square. Further information can be found here.
