Video: How Ford Supported Poland's Largest Cycling Event

Jun 18, 2026

WARSAW, Poland – Ford played a leading role at the Joy Ride Festival in Kluszkowce – the largest cycling event in Poland and one of the highlights of the season for gravity cycling enthusiasts.

The company provided a fleet of technical vehicles, including Ranger Plug-in Hybrid pickups to support the festival which took place from June 12th to 14th near the Czorsztyn Ski Station.

For three days, the venue was transformed into a cycling town, bringing together competitors, amateurs, fans, exhibitors, and people for whom cycling is more than just a pastime. 

"Ford is Joy Ride, and Joy Ride is Ford. Our vehicles have long been associated with driving pleasure, but equally important is their ability to support people in their passions and daily work. During this year's Joy Ride, we weren't just present at the exhibition—our vehicles actually helped organize the event. A fleet of Ranger PHEVs supported the Joy Ride team with festival preparation, logistics, equipment transport, and daily tasks that, in mountainous conditions, require efficient, powerful, and versatile vehicles," said Mariusz Jasiński, Director of Communications and Public Relations at Ford Polska.

Ford Team riders, formed by brothers Michał and Maciej Sztorc, competed in the competition under Ford Polska's colours, using a Transit Custom MS-RT to transport their bikes and equipment

Szymon Syrzistie, General Director of the Małopolska Joy Ride Festival, said: “For years, Joy Ride has been attracting competitors, fans, and entire families to Kluszkowce. Of course, sporting competition remains one of its most important elements, but we also strongly emphasize accessibility, shared riding, equipment testing, training, and a great atmosphere. We want everyone – regardless of their skill level – to find something for themselves here."

This isn't the end of the cycling excitement in Poland this season. The next stop will be the Joy Ride Małopolska Festival in Białka Tatrzańska, which will take place from August 21-23.
