It's not every day you get to ride with 500 enthusiastic bicyclists to the theater. But in Guadalajara, you can do it once a week. Matter of fact, you can ride with a herd of cyclists pretty much any night of the week - just pick your flavor.

"Al Teatro en Bici" (To the Theater by Bicycle") is one of a seemingly endless number of bicycle-oriented initiatives in Guadalajara. There's Camera Rodante, a hard-riding group of biking photographers. There's GDL en Bici, a group of young professionals dedicated to reclaiming the streets for all commuters, not just cars. Their nocturnal rides, each one with a theme and costumed riders, have drawn upwards of 4,000 participants. Read about Guadalajara's bicycle mania here.

Happy travels,
