Bogota has, supposedly, the largest network of bike paths in South America. I’d believe it. There are miles and miles and miles of bike paths in the city. I know, I rode a few of them. The day after I went on the bike tour I rented a bike for a day and took to the paths. I wanted to see Bogota up close and personal. I find riding a bicycle in a strange city a great way to see the city very up close and personal. It’s leisurely enough not to put a strain on my body and strenuous enough to give me a good workout. I get to cover a lot more terrain than I would if I were walking. I figure I can do an easy 5 miles an hour and if I peddle for 3-4 hours I can see quite a bit of a locale. Plus, I actually enjoy riding a bike. What does all that add up to? A good touring experience.
