Spring Cyclovia, 2014!

This past Sunday was just another day in paradise!  Cyclovia is a part of Bike Fest, which Tucson celebrates all month long!  A 5 mile loop was blocked from motorized traffic for pedestrians of all kinds to enjoy.

An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people turned out, all having a great time.  Can't wait for the next one on November 2!

Cyclovia Tucson 2013, Weekend 1

Yesterday (April 7) was the first of two Cyclovia events in Tucson for 2013.  Cyclovia Tucson is based on the Bogota Ciclovia, where several streets are closed to motorized traffic and walkers, skaters and cyclists are free to roam the streets.

The weather was pretty warm as is customary this time of year.  Regardless, there was a great turnout with lots of opportunities to people & bike watch.  It was just HT Chen and myself for the Brompton contingent, but we saw quite a few Bike Fridays.

I've got some video footage, but I've noticed that I seem to tilt my head a bit, making the footage a little skewed.  I'll see if I can correct it post-production before posting it up.

Unfortunately I was too busy talking and taking in the sights to take many good pictures.

Trying out the Sun Tran Hybrid Bus.

Some better pictures can be found on the Tucson Velo site.
