Guadalajara Ciclovia (Central America)

This Streetfilms video, released in January 2012, features the transformative power of a Cyclovia.  The city of Guadalajara, Mexico, has a weekly event called Via RecreActiva, and in just seven years the event has gone from 11 to 65 kilometres in length with some 400,000 people coming out every Sunday to participate.  The event has strong support from a local group called Guadalajara 2020, which has been fundamental in the event’s success.
