As first time visitors to Mexico City, we wanted bikes to spend a day seeing as much as possible…read more For only 400 pesos (about $20) we rented two bikes and a lock for an ENTIRE day. My Spanish is ok at best and it was quick and easy, we were in and out in five minutes. Pay up front and simply leave a driver's license as collateral. Would recommend if you want to explore the massive Bosque de Chapultepec nearby, there's no way to truly see it otherwise. Easy to find, great location in a great neighborhood. Don't expect a smooth-shifting $1000 road bike but it's better than the heavy bike-share bikes in U.S. cities and always better to support an independent bike shop.

There is a limit of 3 hours but still enough time to bike around without having pay and worry about the 45 time limit like on Ecobici. This place was especially useful for Sundays when some of the streets are closed and you can bike on the beautiful streets of Mexico City. There are multiple bicigratis locations around Mexico City, just look for the huawei advertisement haha. I recommend finding a bicigratis off the path of where the streets are closed during Sunday (I think the street that is closed is called insurgentes). There's definitely less people and more of a guarantee to get a bike.

I looked into renting but such thing doesn't exist here, oh well. After checking out a few places right in the same corner of Roma, I'm happy I finally wound up at Alterbike. The very friendly trilingual owner (sorry, forgot his name!) set my girlfriend and I up righteously with two single-speed cruiser style bikes, along with baskets, lights, etc. We walked the neighborhood a little bit, had coffee, and when we returned to the shop they were expertly set up for us. The total bill came to around $300USD for both -- about what it would cost for me to rent similar bikes for a month in, say, Los Angeles and now I get to keep them! The owner explained that Alterbikes are made in Mexico so prices are cheaper than imported stuff. Personally I liked the idea of keeping my pesos here. Mind you, these are simple, functional transportation. They're not the bikes you're gonna ride to Toluca or break any speed records with. That said, we've ridden these many times from our place in Escandon down to Coyocan, up to the Zocalo and Tepito, etc and they've performed like champs. Alterbikes guarantees their gear for a year, and though I've had to make a few little adjustments and tightenings along the way, I'm happy to report that after three weeks of hard riding I haven't had to visit the shop again for tune-ups (More than I can say for the far more expensive bikes I purchased back in NYC!).

There are many interesting stops on the tour with rich history and beauty. Eduardo is knowledgeable and full of great information about the city. We saw a lot of the city that we probably wouldn't have seen without the bike tour. The bikes are comfortable and the tour felt very safe (CDMX is very bike friendly!). Try to go on a Sunday when busy streets are closed to cars. 10/10 would recommend!

The tour begins at Fontán Reforma Hotel, where their shop is located. You're given a bike that will be adjusted according to your needs, as well as a helmet if you'd like one. My bike was a beach cruiser with a basket, which was ideal since I was dragging along my camera and water. My guide, Danny, was a super enthusiastic, has been biking his entire life and would know the roads with his eyes closed, so needless to say I felt safe even when riding the busy streets. Our first stop was made at the Monumento a la Revolución, where he gave a brief explanation of the background. Then we went on to the Buenavista-Guerrero Corridor, where we locked our bikes and took a walk down the street that features murals that cover the entire building facades. Then we drove through the quiet neighborhood of Tlatelolco, to the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, where he gave a detailed backstory of the massacre as well as the history of the pyramids and the church. After this stop, we set off again in search for more murals all over town. We finished the tour with a light lunch in the marketplace at Plaza Garibaldi before heading back to the starting point. Biking through CDMX, admiring the many pieces of art on the walls, gives you a unique perspective that no other tour will be able to offer you. The biking aspect of the tour is not strenuous at all, so I would recommend anyone to see the city from a different angle and hop on a bike with Poray!

Gabby was a great guide and Danny was riding behind us, corking traffic for us at times. We felt safe on all the paths taken and the city now has great infrastructure for cycling. My only wish is that I'd known that the included 'snacks' were going to be some of the best street tacos I've tasted. I had wolfed down a huge breakfast just before the tour so shared my tacos with family. Had I been hungry, they would have been all mine! This tour is a great way to get oriented with part of the inner-city. I would do it all over again just to get back to that taco stand in that sketchy neighborhood, which was safe during the day. This is a great way to cover a lot of ground and feel the culture. We booked this tour in advance through TripAdvisor.
