Today I will talk about cycling in Medellín. A project that startet up in 2010, now attracts a group of 500 or more cyclists every wednesday night in the Carlos E. Restrepo neighbourhood, where we start on a different route throughout the city every week, were the purpose is to stimulate to the use of the bike instead of other means of transport which contaminate, suchs as cars and motorbikes. Yesterday, wednesday, it was a special night, where we reminded the cyclists who tragically had lost their life in traffic. For every place where anyone had deceased, a white angel with a bicycle was painted on the tarmac. Unfortuantely I did´nt bring any camera. For more information on this project, visit
this webpage. Here are some photos from several excursions (sorry for the poor quality).
Update: here is the article from El Colombiano from the night of the conmemoration (in Spansih):
