This was an interesting Cycloviawith a protest march thrown in. Protest marches are a regular occurrence in DF. They occur at least once a week. I think the government has learned that it is better to accommodate them than to push back with violence as has happened more than once in recent history, most notably in 1968 when many students were killed by government troops sent to quell protests. I think the attitude now is, sure, go ahead and protest, we'll even block off the streets for you, but nothing will change. And I'm sure it pisses off motorists who are inconvenienced by the disruption of closed streets. And on top of the Cyclovia which, I'm sure is tolerated to varying degrees by drivers, especially taxis who don't like cyclists to start with. Whatever, for me the Cyclovia is a highlight of the week.

"Mexicans to the cry of peace"
"Return me to my family"
"Stop with the delinquency"
This route of the Cyclocia goes all the way to the Villa de Guadalupe, the most visited religious site in the world. As you can see, it was packed on this Sunday. On December 12, the celebration of Guadalupe, some 10 million people make the pilgrimage to this site.
Pilgrims streamed for kilometers up the Calzada de Guadalupe
