Colombia: Protests in Bogotá

The streets also belong to cyclists There is an everyday scene in Bogotá that says a lot about how we understand the city. A cyclist occupies a lane and, behind, a driver honks the horn. Not necessarily because there is danger, but because they consider that the cyclist is in a place that does not belong to them. The Bicycle Week is a good opportunity to discuss this idea. Not to repeat that cycling is healthy, that it reduces emissions, or that Bogotá has a long tradition of urban cycling. And although all of that is true, there is a more important discussion: Who has the right to occupy the city, and how? The post The streets also belong to cyclists appeared first on La Silla Vacía.
