Abstract

The article deals with cycling which is the phenomenon of the present. Cycling is seen as a means of sustainable transport now. It is very important to respect that the cycling is not a minority trend, but a full-fledged form of transport, which is closely connected to other modes of transport. The paper explores the correlation between the number of cyclist who use cycle routes in Pardubice and changing weather conditions.
