The Best of Buenos Aires, On a Bicycle

Transport throughout the city of Buenos Aires is tough to say the least, I have found problems in nearly every form of transport that have taken. Be it delays, overcrowding or just incredibly confusing! But last week I made a discovery. Bicycles.

Its a great feeling to be able to leave exactly when you want, no more getting lost on buses or finding yourself stuck next to the snoring old man on the bus. By bike you can see the city in comfort and with all the flexibility that you could want. There is even the opportunity to skip past the bulky cars stuck in traffic. You can see the sights and the vibes of the city whilst keeping fit and learning the back roads of town.

There are numerous great places where you can really enjoy cycling in Buenos Aires from the rolling parks of Palermo to the culturally rich area of Recolleta. Take a trail that mixes different areas of town and historical sites. A really insightful way to explore the city is to take a Buenos Aires bike tour, a local can tell you much more about the city than you would ever be able to learn from books

Urban Adventures is the appropriately named enterprise that organises these Bike tours. They are situated in Palermo and organise for small groups of tourists, on brilliantly planned routes though the best parks of the city and also into the backstreets of the centre.
