Ciclovía [Bogotá]

Bogotá is famous for its Sunday Ciclovía, when bicycles take over 70 miles of pedestrian-friendly streets. The best part of the weekly ritual is the people-watching: I saw dads teaching their kids to ride tricycles; a man transporting his children (and pooch!) in a cart attached to his bike; and I met a few guys cruising around on custom-built chopper-style bicycles. I even had a chance to try out one of these souped up bikes myself and let’s just say it takes practice to sit back and peddle.
