Bikers rule streets on Sundays

Sundays are amazing!  Many streets,  including the 5 lane expressway into El Centro, are closed to traffic until 2:00 pm to allow people to exercise.   The streets got packed with bikers, runners, roller bladers, and walkers of all ages.

It was like an event was going on - with water and tire pumps, snacks to buy, and a party atmosphere.   Very fun and a regular occurrence.  So cool! 

Patricio was my tour guide so he pointed out various downtown points of interest as we rode in the crowd - really nice to get interesting info.  Then we rode up the biggest hill, Cerro San Cristobal, with the crowd.  We rode by a zumba class, a spinning class, and an aerobics class outside.  Sundays are happenings!

I love the sign at the top for bikers.... Wear a helmet, Respect pedestrians, Moderate your speed downhill.
