Discover the city by pedaling
Traveling doesn’t always mean hopping on a plane or packing your bags. Sometimes, all it takes is hopping on a bike and letting the road surprise us. Cycle touring is a form of tourism that combines the joy of riding with the exploration of new places. It also promotes an environmentally responsible way of getting around, improves health, and creates a closer connection with our surroundings. Learn how you can do it with ECOBICI.
The goal of cycle touring isn’t speed or physical performance, but the pleasure of exploring, discovering, and connecting with places in a slow, sustainable, and fun way. Although it’s mostly practiced on long road or mountain routes, you can also enjoy it in urban settings. In fact, Mexico City, with its wide cultural offerings, is an ideal destination for experiencing it.
