Buenos Aires is not a quaint country town. It is a full steam ahead bustling capital city. The constant movement and somewhat semi disorganised street chaos usually results in a newcomer avoiding joining the traffic flow as a cyclist. But if you know where to go and how to become part of the streetscape Buenos Aires by bike is the best way to view the city.
Buenos Aires boasts numerous open so there is no need to attempt to tackle the microcentro, the dense small one way streets that make up the central business district. These inner city roads are barely large enough for one vehicle let alone a bus, a motorbike, a parked car and a cyclist.
Away from the blasting horns and bus exhausts are the leafy green parks of Palermo, the dirt tracks of the Ecological Park Costanera Sur or the public transport free area of Puerto Madero, all of which are great areas for cyclists. The roads are flat, the pace can be slow and it is the way to enjoy the city from a new perspective.
The local government of Buenos Aires has also recently opened a network of bike paths. This opening was celebrated by the team of guides at Buenos Aires Urban Adventures as they had always wanted to share the city with tourist by travelling by bike but many travellers couldn’t see past the mayhem of the inner city.
Now the new bike paths offer the opportunity to be separated from the traffic and with an expert local guide the one day tour of Buenos Aires by bike is the new hot trip of Urban Adventures. Tours visit the sight seeing highlights and use back streets and bike paths to travel between points of interest.
So throw on some lycra and get ready to pedal and join a Buenos Aires Urban Adventure.
biking in a place with fresh air is really awesome ♥
