As I noticed that many people are looking for information and pictures about the Ciclovia, I am posting some new pictures I took this last Sunday. For those who do not know what Ciclovia exactly is (even after watching the pictures), please check this earlier post.

Ciclovia – Bicycle Street
May 18, 2008 · 5 Comments
Every Sunday from 9am till 2pm we go out for a bike ride. Well for the last two weeks at least 
normal bicycle lanes in Bogota
Bogota normally already has special lanes dedicated to cyclists (as mingling with normal traffic is not a good idea, not even in a car!), but on Sunday a whole network of roads of about 120KM becomes only accessible to cyclists, joggers and families enjoying the space and exercise. For some reason it is very inviting to participate in this “event” and about 2 million Rolos (citizens of Bogota) actually do.
As far as I know this started in Bogota in 1976 and also happens in other Colombian cities as Cali and Medellin. It is a great way to get people to do exercise and at the same time experience their city in a different and more personal way. Any mayors out there that can replicate this please?
