Some of the bicycle paths are located next to the main roads and secondary streets as well as passing through parks and touristic points of interest. Our bike tours are the best in all of Bogotá for two reasons. First, we’ve spent many hours on our bikes developing interesting routs between three areas at the city: Downtown, North and West of Bogotá. Second, we have a beautiful fleet of cruiser bicycles, also known as beach cruisers, which combine a comfort and expressive styling. Furthermore, all of our tours include a full water bottle.

I went to Architecture School in Bogota and now work in the US, and I just came back from Bogota after 10 years of absence. It is really amazing the tranformation of the urban environment more sensible to the working masses. The new examples of architecture are worth the trip down there to understand the great solutions improving the developing city with so many people living in proverty.

It also has the wonderful Sunday Ciclovia. Still, there's lots more they could do, including clean up the air and tame the traffic. I have a bike rental and bicycle tour company here, so I ride the city every day.
