BiciCaracoles: a bicycle school for everybody in a car-orientated city!
Monterrey is the richest city of Mexico with major parts of the daily trips made with cars. Here cars are a question of status.
In a municipality of Monterrey (San Diego), the rate of cars’ ownership is astonishing: more than 1 car per inhabitant! Monterrey is starting to suffer with traffic jam and slowly turning into the same than Mexico City.
Moreover, Monterrey has a high social disparity with extra rich in one area of the city and very poor people in other location. Not everybody can offer to ride a car, or even want to!

In this context, the small and dynamic BiciCaroles was created. It is a collective which proposes to everyone to learn how to ride a bike in Monterrey: a bicycle school! The main objective is to teach people how to ride a bike safely!

How it works:
BiciCaracoles respects a strict methodology.
