Paseo en bicicleta por Concepción y vocabulario básico

What does “ciclovía” mean in Spanish?

As he rides through Concepción, he explains what a ciclovía is in his own words: a little street made only for bikes. The word joins ciclo (cycle) and vía (way). You will find it on road signs across the Spanish-speaking world, so hearing it here, calm and clear, helps you recognise a safe place to ride or walk when you travel.

In many Latin American cities, ciclovías are protected lanes painted on the road or physically separated from traffic. Some cities also close car lanes on weekends to turn them into temporary ciclovías for walkers and cyclists.
