Had the privilege of cycling Bogotá's Ciclovía once again. It is an amazing experience. It covers 120 kms. This time we headed towards centro. So many participate even in the light rain. But when the rain got heavy - huge numbers sought shelter temporarily. And then proceeded again when it let up.

Bogotá ciclovía - open streets So many fill the streets even in the light rain.

Medellín Colombia - Caught a feeder bus from Laureles to Poblado barrio. And yes the bus driver had decorated his area with purple shag. Yes bright purple shag on the back of his seat, framing the mirrors and the drive stick was also layered with a purple poodle. We couldn't stop laughing.

Bogotá cycling infra is just amazing - One of the best cities I have had the privilege to cycle in. Physically protected bi directional lanes are well designed. Many styles, curb protected, centre median & raised to ht of the sidewalk. Here are a few examples,

Median bi directional bikelanes - protected with trees and grass blvds on either side.

It turns out Bogotá also has a Ciclovia on major holidays like today - Independence Day. So I was able to ride the Ciclovia again. Double "bucket list" Took one of the many open street routes to Parque Simón Bolǐvar. It was busier then yesterday if that is possible.

Made it. Hit another "bucket list". Cycled Bogotá's ciclovia. Rode Panama & Medellín ciclovias before, but Bogotá's was largest. The photos do not do it justice. It was full of people participating - mostly cycling. My partner and I had a great time.

Arrived in Bogotá Colombia for a visit. Major effects for Soroche - altitude sickness, as I currently live at sea level. So taking it easy. But yes of course, sharkdancing is finding cycling easier than walking. Using Tembici bikeshare to get around. So far, as anticipated cycling infra is amazing!

My Montevideo Uruguay neighbourhood park - Parque Rodo had a 2 day event (sponsored by the city) with food trucks, gourmet artisan foods, crafts/plants for sale plus of course music. It was packed for Sunday afternoon with 1,000's enjoying spring - for All Soul's Day.

Food trucks - so many good choices! Note there's plenty of permeant seating in the park.
