Mexico city is being recognized in the global community of amateur cyclists as a destination for world-class riding.
If you love to bike this big city has a variety of options for you. There is a popular bike-share program, and every Sunday streets, like Reforma and many other in the upscale Condesa neighborhood, are shut down for hours for cycling.
Several bike shops organize early-morning group rides during the week and longer excursions during the weekend. Beside, there are several ecotourism parks and protected areas ideal for biking, such as:
Los Dinamos
Among Mexico City’s bicycling enthusiasts, this remarkably rugged urban park on the outer edge of the city is a rite of passage.
This is an ideal place to practice Cross Country and mountain biking in the descent modality, known as Downhill.
The park offers protected bike paths with banked curves, ramps, etc., in a three-kilometre descent that takes just five minutes. Some national Downhill competitions take place in this park.
If you are able to pedal up to the top you are not a “novice” because you have to make your way up the steady incline all the way to the top. As the road snakes upward, brief breaks in the trees provide glimpses of the spectacular views.
