Each Sunday morning when some of Merida’s most beautiful and popular streets are shut down for La Bici Ruta (Bike Route) to allow cyclists a chance to ride around town. Much of the city comes out on Sunday morning to partake in a bike ride. No need to worry about traffic or cars at all. They are all blocked from the several mile route that cuts right through the heart of the city and beyond. Cruise on up the beautiful wide streets of Paseo de Montejo which were modeled to be like the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Pedal on past the lovely town squares. Have a friendly race with a child. If you’re here on a Sunday morning, the Bici-Ruta is THE thing to do in in Mérida.
