Wroclaw Cycle Fest is the biggest, non sporting bike event in the region, organized by Wroclaw Cycling Initiative. It aims to promote cycling traffic as a great mode of transport and to integrate bike lovers! This year, cyclists will take part in The Great Peloton, which will start from Nowy Targ Place, take route through main streets and finish in Tolpa Park.
In Poland, the bike is still mainly associated with sport. Meanwhile, world and european cities with the highest quality of life are those who have put a lot of emphasis on bicycle transport. We want to popularize the idea of the city for people in which you can move comfortably and quickly, noise does not exceed the acceptable standards, you can actively relax breathing clean air and children can independently and safely go to school. That is why we promote bicycle as an important element of ecological and sustainable transport.
The number of cyclists is still growing in Wroclaw and The Great Peloton is a perfect opportunity to show presence on the streets, claim our rights and draw the attention of the city authorities and other road users to the needs of cyclists and safety issues. For some of us it is one of the few occasions to ride on the roadways instead of illegal but safer riding on the pavements, because the system of bicycle routes is still not consistent in the city center.
