Ignoring law in minor cases is a national sport of Polish people. The reasons are simple: the legacy of around 300 years of foreign influence or even occupation during which Poles ignored the occupants` law in order to survive. Today they refuse to abide by weird regulations created by their compatriots from town councils and government all over Poland. E.g., the ban on bikes in Wrocław Main Square has been in force for 12 years now. And what? Nothing: PHOTOS |

The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature    I am here, mum!    |

Recent pandemic caused an abundance of law evasion cases. The main reason is restrictions imposed on facilities which host large groups of people. E..g, gyms. So, one gym owner in Krakow installed religious equipment inside and claimed it was a chapel/ church under the name of Healthy Body. The police looked into the matter but I don`t know how it finished. Churches aren`t closed, only less people can attend services.  New gym opens in Krakow!! hahaha  |

Don’t cycle on squares and not in shopping streets. But we ignore the law and cycle on squares and shopping streets despite the fact that police officers can stop us and can give us a fine of 60 Euro or more. Cheers, Pieter |

So it is a Europe-wide thing, not only Polish. Those bikes can be a nuisance sometimes coz riders go fast past passers-by. What if a child suddenly ran before a bike? Fortunately, I haven`t heard of such incidents so probably I am too sensitive. But when our kids were small, I was constantly on my guard about bikers - even more than cars. |

A few days ago I passed next to a large gym in my area, the windows are covered with For Rent posters, but when I looked through the window, the equipment is still there. An ice rink owner transformed it into a florist`s - you can buy flowers on condition you skate to them.  |

I am one of the Bycicle fanatics who raced through Dutch towns and cities on my boy, teenage and adolescent bikes. In Zeeland I was chased by local cops who often lost me when I slipped through narrow alleys. But when they caught me the 'sadistic' nature of a local cop came to the surface and then they acted like an occupational Nazi Ordnungspolizei (Grüne Polizei) Feldwebel, Polish Blue police officer or collaborationalist Dutch (Nazi) police.
We easily call Dutch compatriots we don't like a NSB-er (member of the war time Nazi Dutch party NSB), the term equals the term Quisling ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling ), rotten fascist (vuile fascist) or other less kind descriptions of a low life. Especially if this person acts in a deviant, obscure, nasty, oppressive or betraying way. In Poland I also once witnessed distrust of unknown Poles by Polish compatriots. I said I met a nice young Polish lady on the street. My host nearly got a heart attack when I told her about my encounter with the nice lady on the street. A quite innocent short encounter and pleasant conversation. She was shocked because I connected to an unknown Polish person, who could have been a 'Communist', 'criminal' or 'terrorist'?
Back to the sadistic local Dutch police of the Vlissingen town on the Walcheren Peninsula in Zeeland. They had a great pleasure to humiliate a teenage boy who had a broken light bulb.
They let me walk next to my bike from the town centre to the suburb where my parents lived driving very slowly and enjoying the humilation of this Beavis & Butthead like teenage creature I was. I remember their smiling faces, due to their great heroic enjoyment in humiliating this skinny teenage kid. In Amsterdam I was a bycicle terrorist who scarred tourists to death by driving like a maniac through Amsterdam over sidewalks, bike lanes, squares, along the chanals, over narrow bridges and streets. My Amsterdam girlfriend lived in another part of Amsterdam and I had to cycle or walk or go by tram 7 kilometers to get to her every day.
Fast driving was my joy and pleasure in Amsterdam. I drove like I was participating in a Tour de France episode in Amsterdam or the Tour de Pologne (Wyścig Dookoła Polski, Tour of Poland).Cheers, Pieter |
