Life / bicycle feasibility in Warsaw [11]
Warsaw is getting better for cycling. However, I consider myself an experienced cyclist but I wouldn't ride on Polish city roads and main roads between cities - it's just not fun. You can access a map of Warsaw's bike lanes here : rowerem.tk/downloads.php?cat_id=1 . I found it depends where you want to go between on whether it's worth taking the bike - certainly if you want to go to somewhere around PKiN I wouldn't bother taking a bike. There are more and more bike parking places and I don't remember the last time I had a problem because of nowhere to lock my bike.
I have never had a problem taking a bike on any form of public transport - okay the small buses may really not be big enough but outside of rush hours, there is no problems on trams and SKM and KM trains are well equipped for them.
