Hi Cris... I was thinking what would be creating a:

(a) thematic ciclovias changing every certain period of time... i.e monthly. The current ciclovias run in fixed paths, but what if they were "mobile" (different each time), following thematic routes (like the current Night Xmas Ciclovia). i.e. museums, libraries, galleries, or gastronomic routes... thus, the related business could show their products and services, as it happens in a "regular" ciclovia. And on the other hand, you will "force" people to know other areas of the city than the common ones.

(b) Or a "gymkhana ciclovia"? The more you pedal or walk, the more points or bonus you get, following a "route map".

This video is amazing! Thank you Cris. It is amazing to realise the possibilities emerging once you close down a few roads! Not only sport, but any kind of activities. Businesses start poping up here and there (as you don't have to pay for the rent!). It is funny how suddenly the city becomes easy for appropriation, and anything becomes possible!

hi cris - i was about to write too about bogotás ciclovía - thanks for publishing this inspiration. i really think it is a good example for revitalization. The ciclovía also includes ALL social layers of the city without frontiers. Every Sunday and holiday it is really crowded. What most fascinates me is the infinite Colombian creativity making use of any opportunity given. All along the ciclovía you find street vendors with snacks, fresh fruit juices – and also offering reparation to your broken bike. It is just great!

Great to see all these cycling Inspirations popping up! Here's a quick tip: you might want to connect them to your post using the Build Upon feature. This helps us all join the dots between related posts and will show up on your Collaboration Map for this post. Plus you'll get more DQ points!. Hit the Update button on the right of your post, then scroll down to Build Upon. Search terms like 'cycling' 'bicycle' etc and drag anything relevant over to your Build Upon field. Keep up the great work!

We could so use this in the city I live in! Would be great. There is quite a cycling scene, and there sometimes bicylce tours. But not as organised as this.
