La Bicicleta Verde goes against - both literally and figuratively - the traffic on its regular evening bike outing starting at 7pm on weekdays.
From the outskirts of uptown beautiful Vitacura, we lead small and large groups (up to 25) down through Las Condes, El Golf, Providencia and several of the "parques" that stretch over 10 kilometers through Santiagos east side.
To call it relaxing would be an understatement. Considering there are traffic jams throughout Santiago at 7pm, riding a green bike – instead of a auto – down the easy parks and safest avenues of Santiago is refreshing. We stop every 20 minutes to point out the political and historical highlights of Santiago under-appreciated upper side. Pedaling by astonishing churches, skyscrapers and Santiago’s modern mix of architecture and green parks makes this outing a cannot-miss. Our tour slows down for one of Santiago best hole-in-the-wall bars for pisco sours, cold brews, and hunger-quenching snacks.
This route is 100% easy-downhill and 100% extreme-relaxing, meaning one could almost finish the entire route without touching their pedals: rather, just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.

Cyclist Outing with Several Hundred Bikers - First Tuesday of Every Month |
The first Tuesday of every month Santiago is overtaken by a massive swarm of joyous cyclists, who take to the streets to promote the use of the bicycle. This event, organized by a number of closely working cyclists activists, consists of a great outing every four weeks. The route is decided upon in a democratic fashion, via the online forum at the Furious Bikers Movement in Chile, where future participants vote on their preference for each and every month. Not only is the route easy and enjoyable, the Chilean police stop their work in the evening to stop and block traffic so hundreds of cyclists can show off their latest bell, helmet, or leg muscles.
Single-speeds, tricycles and recumbent rides, choppers, baby seats and double suspensions can all be found throughout the ride. All rides include a bucket full of laughs.
La Bicicleta Verde organizes every month an outing for groups and individuals, both foreigners and locals, to join us on this experience. We ride together on green bikes, chat along the way at a comfortable rate, and end the evening with some beers in a local dive.
Come alone or come many, but don´t forget to come.
