A few, but not like in Poland.<br />Public transportation in Poznan is also very good but you still see a lot of bike riders.Joan and David Piekarczykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765346132870127606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33728243.post-27049922634931206652012-10-21T00:43:11.963+02:002012-10-21T00:43:11.963+02:00Well you only saw Budapest.

It was very obvious the switch over every day. <br /><br />Also I think there is less bicycle riding because the public transportation is so very good. Why bike between university buildings when one can hop a bus and be at a new place in 10 minutes and it's all very convenient? Also there is less bike riding in the country because the population is settled so differently. Hungary had the land turned into large farms and it's still that way even though the farms are now run privately. One seems only one set of buildings for many, many hectares, whereas in Poland there would be many farm steads for many, many hectares! <br /><br />And I agree with you that driving is easier in Hungary.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490846167170747996noreply@blogger.com
