Alright, I lived in Bogota for ten years until six months ago. There are two kinds of rides, in the city and out of it.

Inside Bogota you will find the largest above traffic bike path in latinamerica. However, like in most big cities, bike theft is a major issue. Carry your lock if you will be sightseeing by bike.

Outside the city there are several places specially for XCers and DHers. Going to Patios, (a mountain in the city) is like a sanctuary to most bikers in Bogota. There are also nearby places to ride like Facatativa, La Calera and Suesca.

If you need further information, PM me.

Cheers,,

You did notice he has a track bike, not a mountain bike didn't you?
