Within the terrain of Tarnów more and more good biking infrastructure is created, as well as attractive places for cyclists, from the increasing number of municipal bicycle paths to the Marcinka Bike Park, which is a system of routes prepared for MTB cyclists on the slope of the Mountain of St. Martin.
