Origin

The December 15, 1974 was the first test of what we know today as "Bikeway" was the first time the Bogota citizens took to the streets to appropriate a space exclusively for motor vehicles.

The "Rally for the Cicla" newspaper titled as Time, was initiated by an independent non-profit organization called "Procicla" and the Administrative Department of Traffic and Transportation, who enabled the two main streets of the city, race 7 and race 13 between Calle 72 and the center of the city for three hours from 9: 00 am to 12:00 pm, for bicycle traffic.

The event was attended by over 5000 Bogotá citizens who came out to demonstrate against the proliferation of cars, pollution and lack of recreational offerings in the city.

For the year of 1976, the mayor of Bogotá makes the decision to allocate routes for traffic strategically placed exclusive of cyclists and pedestrians.

On 7 June the same year issued the decrees 566 and 567 where it creates "The Ciclovías".

These decrees are expected Ciclovía different types depending on their intended use.

We consider the possibility of establishing Ciclovías for the exclusive use of bicycles for a specified time (transitory) which is the case of Dominical and Festiva Ciclovía the date you choose this decree for operation and bicycle for permanent use, what we now know as bike paths.

The decree gave the Ciclovía fully operational from June 20, 1976 and established four routes to the same: the circuits Salitre-Ciudad Universitaria, Olaya - The Tunal National Park - Funicular and Northern Circuit.

The opening of the Bikeway had a massive attendance, however the experiment progressed, some argue that because of the lack of control of transit authorities, so we had to wait six years to be permanent.
