Vol. 8, No. 2

The region of Mazovia in Poland helps meet the growing demand for recreational areas, which is related to the existence of large urban centres in the region and the ever-increasing trend towards an active lifestyle. This paper demonstrates the potential of Mazovia in terms of bicycle tourism, discusses the state of the existing bicycle infrastructure and outlines prospects for its development. For that purpose the authors: 1) summarised the spatial distribution of natural values important for cycling and the condition of cycling infrastructure; 2) examined the relation between the values of the Mazovia region and their use for cycling; 3) checked the state of the bicycle routes network in the Mazowieckie voivodeship in relation to other voivodeships. This study shows that Mazovia has a considerable potential for cycling tourism and recreation on both a regional and local scale for short-term and short-distance trips. On a supra-regional scale, the Mazovia area offers excellent conditions for establishing transit routes between regions of the highest tourist attractiveness in Poland. However, the above-mentioned potential is at present partially untapped, the likely reasons for which have been indicated in this paper.

The aim of the research was to determine the group of inhabitants of Lublin province as users of cycling routes in the landscape parks of Lublin province and frequency of this activity. Recreational activity in this respect was analyzed in terms of gender, age, education, place of residence and occupational status. The research was carried out using the direct survey method, which was carried out among 1203 inhabitants of the Lublin province, who were able to ride a bicycle. Statistical computations were performed applying Statistica ver. 13 PL software, using non-parametric tests: the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the median test. Following conclusions have been drawn from the research: a typical user of cycling routes is a young person up to 30 years of age, still learning and/or pursuing a freelance occupation. Therefore, when developing new bicycle routes in the landscape parks, they should be adjusted to this age group of participants. Young people going on a bike tour are expecting to download mobile applications that will allow to get acquainted with the most interesting attractions on the itinerary, as well as QR code images on the information boards. There are pensioners who can be attracted to cycling routes in the landscape parks, providing them with the necessary infrastructure (benches, information boards, fireplaces/BBQs, relaxation areas) and organizing guided bike tours with trainers or animators.
