Bogotá's Fifth Bicycle Week


Bogotá's fifth Bicycle Week kicked off today with events in the National Park, including contests for working bikes and weird bikes, bike races and other fun stuff.

As always, I wish that these events included promotion of practical and mundane biking, particularly bike commuting. Instead, there's the bicycle-as-toy and these forums. But we've had plenty of forums and speeches already.

A flying start for Bicycle Week.

Jesus David Acero, bicycle point man at the IDU, says he hopes public bikes will be rolling by mid-2013.



Bike license plates for sale in a flea market say 'One Less Car', 'More Pedal, Less Motor' and others.
