The idea to launch the project was born from our experience as cyclists in Warsaw. The city is hostile to cyclists and the bike paths network is rather poor. While there has been a steady increase in the number of new, often unconnected bike paths, they are of a short distance, poor quality (the surface is built of a very low quality causeway!) and often end very abruptly, leading to nowhere. Moreover, there is a very low awareness of cyclists on the roads amongst car and bus drivers, making cycling on main roads dangerous. Many cyclists therefore chose alternative routes, often cycling on pavements,(which is against Polish law), and via city parks. We have thus thought that there is a need to create a portal with alternative bike routes, including many different surfaces, which would also constitute a forum and experience sharing platform for cyclists. The idea of the portal is to be a user generated content and a source for change of attitudes amongst local authorities and public in general, leading to a bike friendly city.
