Buenos Aires by Bike
The title, many may be surprised. The capital of Argentina is not exactly a paradise for transportation or for the order or by its fluidity. And maybe the bikes are one of the last links in the scale of those who rule the streets. However, there are timid attempts to assign a privileged place for bike rides around the city. And above all, a huge number of citizens seeking to secure this means of transport in the city.
A group of citizens summoned by a blog meets the first Sunday of each month at the obelisk with a basic charge: to get a bike. Is the revenge of the poor traffic. But there are promising initiatives: new bike paths, bike rentals, eco-tours and dozens of neighbourhoods to discover pedalling.
Buenos Aires, adds 25 miles of bicycle paths or bike lanes, opened a few months ago. On the website of the government of the city of Buenos Aires is a detailed map with bike lanes and priority lanes for bicycles, which can be explored in detail. There is even a series of stations where you can withdraw a free bicycle for two hours (Bicing in Buenos Aires), or to agencies that propose a bold night tour to Buenos Aires.
There are also some websites that are responsible for relieving the different tracks on bike paths available in the city including the so-called preferential lanes. For example, in the course Interparques, about 20 miles, come to light many details to be improved: untidiness in the district or the state of the paths, but also cars that do not respect the exclusive spaces, or pedestrians that are intermingled with trails in park areas.
Buenos Aires has a lot to improve the cycling culture in the city. Still, the adventure of touring the city by bike, worth it and we can provide enriching experiences in a long walk, enjoying the most ecological means of transport in the world.
