A REAL Nocturnal Ciclovía

Three's not a crowd. Three members of one family on two wheels in La Candelaria.

Usually, Bogotá's annual Ciclovía Nocturna, or Nocturnal Ciclovía, is anything but, at least in the city centre, as Ave. Septima gets so packed with pedestrians that one can hardly walk a bike, much less ride one. 

But this year, they routed La Ciclovía along Carrera 6 in La Candelaria, making pedaling possible.

Not quite a 'cycle way' here along Carrera Septima.

Oops...No where to go.

Bogotá's Nocturnal Ciclovia - is no Ciclovia at all!

Is this a Ciclovía?

Bogotá's annual Nocturnal 'Ciclovía' happened on Dec. 8. Thousands and thousands of bogotanos, almost all of them on foot, packed Bogotá's central avenues and parks and had a great time admiring the Christmas lights. But, with the streets so crowded that you could barely turn around, it was no Ciclovía!

Any room to cycle here?

Bogotá BikeTours managed to do a tour, (with lots of walking). Why is it that one night when it's impossible to bicycle on La Septima is our biggest night of the year?

The National Park was all lit up.

And Independence Park was full of flying fish!
