Dozens of Dutch ex-pats took their beloved bicycles to the Bogota streets on Sunday to take part in the Ciclovia Naranja, an event organized by the country’s embassy to promote the Netherlands in Colombia.
The cyclists – all dressed in the country’s national color orange – took advantage of the already existing ciclovia, which allows pedestrians and cyclists to exercise on public roads without risking being crashed into by one of the millions of motorized vehicles that usually fill the streets of the Colombian capital.
The event is part of a 6-day promotional campaign that ends with the celebration of Queen’s Day on April 30th, when Dutch around the world celebrate their monarchy.
