Mexico 2019 - First Ciclovia

One of my favourite activities in Mexico City is the weekly Ciclovia, car-free Sunday.  There are 25 different routes covering just over 170k.  Some are managed by the city and some by individual boroughs (delegacions).  Roughly half a million people come out every Sunday.

What a treat it is to pedal through this city without having to be constantly on the alert for erratic and unpredictable motorists which is most drivers here....... but heads up for other cyclists, skaters, walkers, joggers, strollers, etc.

Along the way are stations with different activities.  

A disability awareness station primarily oriented to vision impaired.

 Identify the shape through your feet

Score a goal blindfolded

Vision impaired musicians

The zumba station.

Bike class for kids

There's yoga and hula hooping and mechanic stations spaced every few blocks for free repairs and air. 

Even dogs get in on the action

And many interesting sights along the way
