Travel / BIKING in POLAND [75]

How old is your son

He is 14 and I feed him good healthy foods as I have always stayed awy from the refined sugars. His problem is motivation. He has always been rather strong built just that now he is 40 lbs overweight He just does not care to do much with himself other that n sit and watch TV . There is much more to this and that is the fact that my rich ex wife is suing for custody and bought him a corvette so he can have it in two years and move to Texas with her and really get fat and lazy and be a real jerk too. I have a bike trainer, but he is not using it right now I need to get a cattle prod.

News / Venezuela is voted happiest place to live ,Poland? [33]

I read that on MSN. It does seem the class of society one lives in determines certain degrees of hapiness. Very hard to measure such things. One has to look at the whole culture. CHavez Has made himself quite popular with the people. But not all I am sure And some have gotten extremely wealthy. Depends on who your friends are. Back to topic on a new direction of a cyclist thread.

Please avoid conflict on this thread. Just for once ignore and hold tongue please GRZ. Miranda is right too many times and this time It would be nice to prove her wrong.

IMO many people here work hard to give Poland bad name

Why would anyone want to give their own home country a bad name? This worries me that there are many like this . Hopefully not! The truth should prevail . That i s most important to all.

I recommend Krakow and south to the mountains and forrest. I can be much more discriptive, if you like?

Thank you and I will put something together for next year. Maybe some PF mebers would like to make a group of it?
I would like to add the following to this thread. When one goes out in their wonderful country on a bike tour and it becomes unpleasant. This person is going t o have questions on the nex trip they plan in a completely foreign country as Poland. In college a few years ago I was biking a several hundred mile trip in Texas with my african girlfriend. Nothing was thrown at us and as a whole it was a good time. She was beautiful and looked good on the bike yet there were still occasional words from vehicles that made us a bit uncomfotable. I realize this kind of situation could happen in any country and one has to look at the whole of it. I do wish to travel where there is less of it. I like stopping at farms and discussing things with them. In the US this is easy and most are friendly as a whole very inviting no matter what the race of the person is or that they are a foreigner. I do not wish to feel like an intruder. In the city it may be totally different, but when on the road where not many people are arround it is imperitive to feel comfortable with one's surroundings.

It would be a good start to see what is real and what is perceived

My plan has been discovered.

I've cycled quite extensively in the countryside

Now we are talking possibilities?

what kind of stuff do they throw? beer cans of bottles

They do it for fun and I have professional cycle friends that have been annoyed by this. One was injured by a fishing pole once. I very much would like to cycle in a country that would not do such a thing. Remeber many americans also cary guns so stopping them at the gas station could be risky.

I do find cultural differences and misunderstandings and they should be discussed more

Exactly my point and I do appreciate you diving in to this. I read so much on PF sometimes towards the negative. It makes one wonder why visit the place at all. Of course the only way to solve the question is to visit first hand and vist a broad range of people over over time One would have to back pack Poland to know. I put this example to you. In the US, If you are riding your bike in the country, there is a high possibility of some idiot throwing something at you from their car, what is the possibility of this happening in Poland High or low. In the US farm country , people are warm to inviting you in there home. Are Polish farmers similiar for the most part?

I offer these questions for who have visited Poland only as compared to other places one may have visited.
1. Are polish people rude?
2. Do Polish smile often?
3. Are Polish people less compasionate?
4. Are polish people forgiving?
5. Are Polish people too serious?
6. Do you feel honesty and trust when meeting them?

They might want to replace the useless English electrics first....

Consult the Japanese on that one. Currently the US is auctioning off all the tank engines that were upgraded in case you want one.
