SUMMARY:
Ciclovia originated in Bogota, Columbia in the 1970’s and took off around the world in the 1990’s. Pensacola joined the movement in 2017 with the City’s very first Ciclovia. This event closes major streets in downtown Pensacola to motorized traffic and opens them up for people to ride bikes, walk, run, play or whatever moves them.
Ciclovia Pensacola is a grassroots movement made up of volunteers and a diverse range of public, private and nonprofit stakeholders.
