On Sundays, many Bogota streets are converted into pedestrian and cycle only areas, and cars, buses and motorbikes give way to pedestrians and bikes. Curiously, Bogota was one of the first of the large cities to adopt this urban scheme of entertainment, later followed by so many others around the world. Surveys show that ¼ of the city’s population enjoys Sunday Biking, or simply going for a vehicle-free stroll, joined by children on bicycles, skates, scooters and rollerblades, stopping now and again to sip fresh juices from street vendors. So, why not join this truly local habit and plan part of your visit by bike on a Sunday? Feel like a Bogotano and have an authentic day in the city. There are many bike rental shops around, so please check with your hotel for the closest to your location
