Sorry. Puntos de actividad física are spots where phisical trainers do exercise as in a gym, you can "stop" to get a drink, and rest a little, do minors cycle reparations (flar tires, that kind of things). And you can go to the bathroom too.

first comes first:

* You cannot download it from anywhere. It´s just a scan I made from a flyer. . . :) But I have to improve the reading parts. . . when i have the time I will redraw it on photoshop, with more detailed info. . .

* Lilly, c´mon. . . we PBHers living in bogota can organize a good' old septimas trip. (O en bogotano cachaquísimo: Un septimazo. . .) in bike or rollers. Or even walking. I did my high school in the second oldest school in latinamerica, so we can made a "tourist VIP guide" free. If we choose one last sunday of the month, most of the museums are almost free (3 dollars maybe 4 per ticket).

* Other good plan its going to hear storytellers (or cuenteros. . .) in Usaquén. FREE, and if you feel a little artisitic, learn how to ball juggle. Or just buy an icecream from crepes & waffles and walk.

* About renting bikes.. . sorry. I don´t know where you can do that GS.

Rubito. . you can get minor bike repairs IN ALL CICLORUTA (every two meters you can read a board saying: "se le arregla la bicicleta, mono", "aire pa las llantas" and stuff like that). . . and you can buy fresh juice in almost all ciclorutas. There´s some guys in yellow and riding bikes. . . there are the "yellow patrolman" in ciclorutas. If you have any problem you just call them and they call somebody to help you. For example a taxi if you feel sick. . . . :).

No rubito. . . only in ciclovias time. But here is a little trick, if your bike have some problem, most of the mechanics (car mechanics) knows a lot of bikes (Most of them own one), so if you have a problem, just go there to some gas station and they probably help you. It´s a 60/40 probability they will. . .

Again . . minor repairs (flat tires, something with the chain. . . that kind of things. . .). Don´t think its 24-7 service. If your bike have a mayor problem, don´t go by yourself at 1:00 in the morning. That´s plain stupid.

Don´t confuse "ciclorutas" with "ciclovias" . . . ciclovías are only in WEEKENDS. And ciclorutas are the roads to bikes. This ciclorutas are open all the time. . .
