On the first years of the ciclorutas project, it was destined for sport activities. 19 later, the ciclorutas symbolize something definitely different. Now the ciclorutas are a transport tool for almost 84.000 people and it sees around 170.000 trips per day. Of these people, only the 18% use it for sport or recreation. In contrast, 31% of them use it to go to work and 35% of them use it to go to study, and each day the number of cicloruta’s users increase. Accordingly, the ciclorutas infrastructure has grown up too. Today the city almost has 350 km of ciclorutas through the city, and all the people in the city can enjoy this space because there are ciclorutas in 17 of the 20 Bogota’s counties. All of these things have made Bogotá an example of bike routes for the country’s other cities and Latin America’s cities.
