Bike lanes on all the sidewalks. You have to ride reaaaal slow though. Most accidents are from people walking in front of bikes. Not sure if I like it.
Separated bike lanes in the middle of dedicated bus rapid transit lanes in between a boulevard that’s closed to traffic for the day so families can run and bike together. What’s your city doing?
Tons of families and every block where employees of the Ciclovia directing traffic.
Free Zumba in Parque de Simon Bolivar.
Historic architecture sprinkled all over.
And around every corner were really chill neighborhood parks.
They started making parts of the Ciclovia routes permanent.
Got to meet Bogota’s most up street artist. DJ LU. He was hired to paint all the dividers on the Ciclovia. He gave me a stash of stickers and posters. Cool guy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/juegasiempre/
Bandeja paisas is a common dish from Medellin, Colombia. The food from that part of the country is what’s known around the world as Colombian food. We got rice, red beans, an egg, platanos, a small arepa, aguacate, hella chicarones, chorizo, and some other meat too.
The @MetroMedellin runs fast, clean, and dependable. Packed full of jerseys right after a football game gets out.
