Because bicycle tourism is one of the most popular forms of physical activity the issues related to the bicycle penetration are presented in the thesis. The main purpose of the thesis is to enrich the tourist offer of the test bicycle trail (the fragment of Transwielkopolska Trasa Rowerowa) and recreation stimulation as well. The goal will be achieved by acquisition and presentation some information on bicycle penetration in three aspects: route and physical activity parameters, graphic presentation and educational aspect. To measure the bicycle penetration the technique of satellite navigation was used in the study. In the measurement the recorder of frequency of contractions of the heart (GPS-Enabled Sports Watch “Forerunner 405HR”, Garmin International Inc., Kansas, USA) and the watch recording parameters of penetration were used. As the result of the research some data on the general parameters were obtained: penetration time, distance, speed, frequency of contractions of the heart, energy expenditure (Kcal) and some detail data relating to the particular road sections (1 km long). The graphic documentation is a significant value of the thesis. It includes hybrid and satellite maps and charts of parameter variability when overcoming the route. The parameter characteristics can be used in different types of tourist offers: printed promotional materials, information boards on the trails and websites.
