Saca la bici

Last night's bike ride was amazing! Robert, the other Fulbrighter living in Querétaro, came on the bike ride with me. JP picked us up in his truck and brought us to the meet-up spot at Cerro de las Campanas, which is where Emperor Maximilian was executed on June 19, 1867.

 
JP lent me a single-speed blue cruiser with pedal brakes. We road for a couple of hours through the cool night air, passing by neighborhoods and people cheering. It was very similar to San Francisco's Critical Mass except the bikers respected the cars and the cars respected the bikers. People called out when we rode over topes, speed bumps, and chanted "Beso! Beso! Beso!" anytime we passed a couple walking together. And hey there, look what we came across!

The aqueduct! We road along it's entire length!

The ride is every Wednesday night. I'm now hoping to find a used bike I can buy for the year and go on this ride regularly.
