During the week, it is pretty much impossible to cycle in Quito due to the HEAVY traffic volume. However on Sunday it is a different story! Cycling is fantastic on Sundays. It seems everyone is out cycling for the day. One specific street is reserved for bicycles from early in the morning until 3:00 p.m. The street runs the entire length of the city (about 40 km). The range of cyclists includes athletes in the latest gear, to small children on tricycles. Most perpendicular streets are blocked off, and at major intersections the traffic police stop traffic to let cyclists go through. I rented a bicycle from the Yellow Bike Company and rode for about 4 hours last Sunday. I liked it so much I did the same this Sunday.
