Carfree Ciclovia in Colombia
Earlier this year I posted about how Ode Magazine reported that The Happy Planet Index, a project of the New Economics Foundation, ranked Colombia as the 2nd happiest place for the planet.
Because my hubs is from Colombia, I like to keep up with the positive Colombia stories, so I wanted to share this 9-minute online video, Ciclovia: Bogotá, Colombia by StreetFilms. On Sundays and major holidays, the main streets in Bogotá are closed down from 7AM-2 PM for cyclists, runners, skaters and walkers to enjoy.
If you are reading this through a feed reader and don't see the video, click through to the original post.
Hat tip to Carfree USA Blog for the story.

Thanks for posting our video! At this rate we are gonna see Ciclovias in every major city!
ReplyDeleteThis video almost made me cry. I lived in Colombia in a very difficult time (1998) -- it's beautiful to see so much happiness and creativity flourishing in the city. Of course exercise makes everyone more tolerant! Viva Colombia!
