Some 1,200 recreational cyclists took to the streets of Medellin Wednesday in an unprecedented show of force against the city’s motorized vehicles.
The cyclists, who tour the city weekly in smaller groups as part of a civilian initiative called Ciclas, shut down parts of Colombia’s second largest city in what they called the SiCLeada 2012.
The group tries to promote the use of bicycles as a sustainable form of transport.
