Just in case some of you have come directly to the blog without going through the Spanish Cyclepaths webpage, this is a quick reminder that the MEJOR CONBICI bike ride is this Sunday.
MEJOR CONBICI is a new initiative to promote bicycles as a form of urban transit. Sponsored by ConBici (www.conbici.org) and the Ministry of the Environment (www.mma.es), the initiative (www.mejorconbici.com - website in Spanish only, still under construction) to get people moving on their bikes. The number of participating cities has increased - Santiago de Compostela is finally on board, which only makes sense when you think about how many people are doing the Camino de Santiago on bikes because, let's face, who the hell can afford 35 days of walking in this day and age?
I don't know about other cities, but in Madrid, the ride will get underway about 12ish (this is Spain, after all), in front of or near the Jardin Botanico, to the immediate south of the Prado Museum, just south of the Museo del Prado. Weather forecast is clear but slightly nippy. Enjoy!!
