Great question - on that note, if anyone knows people that do local bike tours for 1 day in those cities and can provide bicycles, that would be useful to.

Mountain biking is the best idea. I would not ride a bike around the streets of Colombia.

Key West on the other hand.

Yeah & when you pass them as I do carefully with a good space most of them for some unknown reason swerve to the left so unpredictable like the car/bus/taxi drivers too always be on your guard go if I was a Colombian I'd have hit them many times people always pass you as close as they can arseholes!

I just do not trust my fellow Colombian motorists who do not respect the rules of the road. Johnny 2008 said it best.

Plus, I have a good sense of self preservation.
