From north to south the city is relatively flat but there are slopes from east to east.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of networks. These are:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">The main network:<\/span><\/strong> It unites directly and expeditiously the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">The secondary network:<\/span><\/strong> It feeds the main network.

But you have to be honest, this road to change has not been easy.<\/p>\n<p>Cycle routes and cyclists have been affected in recent years, like the rest of the city, by criminal gangs. The sectors that have been afected the most are: Usaquen, Suba, Kennedy, Tunjuelito and Ciudad Bolivar, where cyclists suffer from the theft of their bicycles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">The problems<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although the city has one of the most extensive routes in Latin America, it is common to see many bicyclists traveling through the streets, generating a risk factor. <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">But, why avoid the bike paths?<\/span><\/strong> Many cyclist answer the same thing: using this routes can be a problem and not a privilege.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the problem is that there is a lack of lighting, there are gaps, sewers and lack of security.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, those who ride bicycles have created applications to report alerts about dangerous areas for their community. When reviewing their results, most coincide with the statistics of the authorities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4188\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4188\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4188\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_03-2-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diana Perez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Changing the subject a bit, there are other issues regarding our city on two wheels. One of them is that because of the lack of school routes the &#8220;To school by bike&#8221;district program has been created.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem is the issue of parking. It is very simple, there aren&#8217;t any! This means that there are not enough for the number of bicycles that are used. Besides this, they are not safe places.<\/p>\n<p>As for the insecurity of bicycle parking lots, we should highlight some of the safest in the city. These are:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"> Bavaria:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0It is located in the main headquarters of the company and offers 99 bicycle spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Santa Fe Shopping Center:<\/span><\/strong> It is a free parking lot open to the public in the Mirandela (Suba) sector. It offers 600 spaces, excellent signs and excellent security.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"> Santa Fe Foundation:<\/span><\/strong> parking open to the public and has 50 bicycle spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Parking International &#8211; La Ense\u00f1anza:<\/span><\/strong> It is open to the public, located on 72nd Street with Carrera 8 (Chapinero). It has 40 spaces for bicycles and three access areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"> Universidad de Los Andes:<\/span><\/strong> private parking and for free use by students. It has 440 spaces for bicycles, a quota much larger than those assigned for cars.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the subject of accidents is intense. For example, in 2017, The Mobility District Secretariat reported that about 59 people lost their lives. Unfortunately for 2018, 63 deaths were reported.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Solutions with a future<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is a sustainable school mobility initiative in which the Secretariats of Education and Mobility work hand in hand.\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">&#8216;To school by bike&#8217;<\/span> <\/strong>has made more than one million trips by bicycle to go to and from school.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4190\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4190\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_05-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4190\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1902_05-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4190\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nessa Twix \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This means that Bogot\u00e1 is a <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">pioneer city in the sustainable school mobility, and in the massive use of the bicycle.<\/span> <\/strong>This is an initiative that is worth strengthening.
