The article presents innovative solutions in respect of cycling tourism in Warsaw. To illustrate it, a bike rental system is presented. The article characterizes the level of bicycle transport in voivodeships. In order to do that, the report entitled, “Transport i łączność” [“Transport and Communication”] and the data of the Central Statistical Office (GUS) “Turystyka” [“Tourism”] are utilized. It can be noticed that the development of longer cycle lanes and building new ones as well as bike stands and parks will enable tourists and the inhabitants of Warsaw to increase the share of bicycle use for transport in urban tourism.
