I recently embarked on an exhilarating adventure riding a fixie through the bustling streets of Mexico City. And let me tell you, it’s a whole new ball game! The adrenaline rush of riding a fixed-gear bike in Mexico City is unparalleled, as the city presents a unique challenge to test your skills and agility. The thrill of weaving through the organized chaos while being in sync with the city’s tempo, is nothing short of extraordinary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, grab a seat and let me take you through the wild ride that is cycling a fixed-gear bike in this beautiful, chaotic metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To start with, the traffic in Mexico City is absolutely insane! With over 21 million people and 5 million cars in the metro area, the roads are always teeming with vehicles. But don’t let that intimidate you. Riding a fixed-gear bike gives you the agility and control to weave your way through this organized chaos. Just be prepared for narrow streets, sudden stops, and the occasional pothole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing that stands out in Mexico City is the extensive network of bike lanes (ciclov\u00edas), which make it surprisingly bike-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
