Thread: Biking in Brazil

Do you ever ride your bike in Brazil? Do you have a bike?

I do not have a bicycle, but I should get one. It would be fun, and good exercise. Also, they are much faster than walking.

Bikes are a great form of transportation in almost every country, the only downside is that they aren't as fast as cars, and don't allow you to transport goods/people like cars. And also it's not for everyone since some people no longer have the physical ability to ride one due to their age and/or other factors.

Riding bike is no doubt a fun. I had one during my college days , but now i prefer cars over bike as my main preference is now comfort and personally i feels bikes is too risky.

Yeah, not mentioning at my place the least breathing the air pollution in the busy cities as well unexpected rains and hot weather is really unpleasant.

I love to bike. If my destination is not too far, I take my bike. Not only do I have some exercise but I save on gs money as well.

How are the roads for biking conditions in brazil?

I love biking. When I was in Japan, I was biking going to my office. It was a fun experience. They have a lane for the bikers there so it is quite safe. How about in Brazil, is it safe to use a bike for transportation?

I think it's safe to travel by bike in Brazil. Not only safe, it's cheaper as well with the high price of gas these days.

Biking is very much safe, most of the population in Brazil has bikes & they make most of their traveling on bikes/bicycles.

wear youre helmets when you go biking..
better be safe..

I wouldn't care! I don't know how to ride or drive a bicycle!!!

Am i not too old to try and learn it? My kids bike better than I do! They are only pre-school levels, yet they can bike without the wheelbalancers anymore.

I don't know how to ride a 2 -wheel bike, but i would love to stroll down Brazil using side car bike

biking is fun..it can be expensive too if you really take it to the next level..hehehe..
but i suggest you try to ride a bike..you only live once..

I love biking in a Park it makes you enjoy the ambiance of the place without being that tired compared to walking..

ride youre bike to scenic routes for the best scenery..

I am actually planning to have biking lessons hahah, better late than never :P

It must be cheaper, but in the big cities like the one I live Belo Horizonte there is not a exclusive place just for bike, so it is very dangerous to bike in the midle of the cars, even if it is a motobike it is dangerous. It can be nice in some places where people go just for exercice but not really for diary activities. But if you live in a small city it should be great and nice exercice.

Biking is one of the cheapest form of transportation in Brazil. If you are planning to use this of course you should be equipped with safety gears. You may be able to save money since you are just using a bike but you will spend more if accident hits you.

And how much it may cost? any idea? i i get a bike and if GPS works everywhere in Brazil then my tour D Brazil will be Awesome. plz inform as soon as possible.

For some awesome mountain biking trails, go to the inland from Salvador to the Chapada Diamantina. These highlands (with fantastic rock structures) look very just like the landscape in the American Southwest.

In addition to some great biking and hiking trails, there's also waterfalls and natural waterslides here. The Chapada Diamantina are truly incredible and beautiful.

Some countries in Europe are so popular with bikes. I wish it was happening in Brazil, where are the roads just for bikes? it's a dream... Would be so much better...

Yes, I have a bike and I usually ride my bike on weekends, near home. It´s very good. I love my bike.

We have those roads here in Portugal, we call them the CicloVia

Yes, I couldn't agree more with you, rebster. The price of gasoline is totally out of control. I am thinking about getting a bike myself and using it as my central mode of transportation! (at least for the summer and fall seasons anyway!)

Price of gas just keeps climbing! GRrrr! I wouldn't be surprised to see $5 gas by the end of the year. Legislators are not saying anything about it, the oil companies are reaping enormous profits, and the independent gasoline retailer along with the public is the loser.

Yes I have a good bike and I ride it on the weekends.

There are many benefits that are associated in biking. You can save money at same time it makes the heart pound in a steady manner and helps improve cardio-vascular fitness.

Did you know that President Rousseff of Brazil, created "Way to School", a national program that provides 100,000 donated bikes and helmets to students in public schools, the federal government took another important step to encourage the culture of cycling in the country.

WOW! Its nice to know that.

Yes, I have a good bike and I love to ride my bike in the streets of my city. It´s so amazing...
