Mexico City Travel Forum

And yet another question... Does anyone know a place that rents bicycles in Mexico? I would like to see all of Polaco. I've been to Mexico many times and can't even picture a bicycle store., not a department store that sells them.

i was in mexico city two weeks ago and saw a few bicycle stores, but no bicycle rentals.

the hostel catedral on the zocalo has bicyclethough that they use for guided bicycle rides around the city, but they might be ready to rent them out if you have a chat with them.

I'm not recalling the specifics at the moment, but the Mexico City government has now closed Paseo de la Reforma - from the Alameda Central (I think) to Chapultepec Park . . . to bicycles-only . . . each Sunday and I believe bicycles are available for rental at several points along the way. Other than this, I don't think bicycle rentals are commonly seen in the city. There are, however, a lot of bicycle shops if you wanted to purchase something.

Sunday mornings from 7 am to 2 pm Paseo de la Reforma is closed to cars...down by the Angel of Independencia you can rent bikes. There are lots of bike shops as well as department stores and Walmarts sell cheap bikes - I would ask to rent from a bike shop, or ask at hostel-hotel, or just buy a cheap one if you are there for some time...
