Bogota is a true testament of how a city can be transformed. Through “radical” action for a better city and clean green transportation, Bogota has become a leader in bicycle transportation.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[social_buttons]<\/p>\n

One step ahead of Basel, Switzerland<\/a> on this list, Bogota boasts an amazing transformation in the transportation infrastructure and alternative transportation usage of a modern city. Unlike many cities that are renovating primarily for cars or, more admirably, mass-transit, Bogota made sure to put a lot of focus on improving their city for bicyclists and pedestrians as well, the greenest transportation modes!<\/p>\n

Bogota set on a mission in the 1990’s<\/a> to cut down the number of automobiles on its roads. It reduced the space for cars, created more bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths, and dedicated lanes and space for mass transit — bus rapid transit, in particular.<\/p>\n

What is the result? Driving has decreased by about 1\/3 during rush hour and now just a little more than 10% of Bogota\u2019s residents own a car! Additionally<\/a>, “cycling and walking has more than doubled!”<\/p>\n

Due to these factors and the interesting photos to follow, Bogota is #9 on this Great Bicycle Cities<\/a> list.<\/p>\n

Bike art, bike shippers, bike roads, bike elevators, and car-free Sundays — enjoy the photos from Bogota!<\/p>\n

Secure Bike Parking<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\nAccording to the photographer<\/a>: “Near Transmillenio station. Spaces for 100 bikes and a full-time guard. Elevator to more bike parking on the right.” Great little bike storage facility!<\/p>\n
