Biking a few barrios in Cidade Maravilhosa
[QUOTE=HoyaDay;post2618713]I biked around a lot using bike Ita. This was a great option from the metro and the bus. It's good to scope the neighborhoods from a bike. It takes about 30 min on bike from copa to Centro almost all flat and very scenic. They also have electric bikes at a higher cost. [/QUOTE]Absolutely a great way to see Cidade Maravilhosa, and get to know the some of the famous / infamous barrios of Rio. Good on you, for taking some time outside of mongering to explore (by bike), one of the premiere cities in the world.
Yes, the Centro to Copa bicycle ride, is pretty good, fairly safe and definitely a very scenic bike trail, (ie. via Copa ― Botafogo ― Flamengo ― Centro • Santos Dumont).
Naturally there's the always, fun and fabulous, bike path in Zona Sul (ie. Leme ― Copacabana ― Ipanema ― Leblon ― Lagoa ― Jardim Botanico).
Just remember to take extra care if you're riding on the roads, as navigating Rio traffic can be very tricky and perilous.
