It was still tough but like you I enjoyed the whole experience, scenery sites and sounds and took my time.

However, recent mayors have given much less support to cycling than did Peñalosa and others. (Ironic, since the last two mayors have been leftists, and the great majority of Bogota cyclists are poor.) As a result, some ciclorutas have suffered from neglect and the network has not been expanded. In addition, last year a congressman tried unsuccessfully to cut back the Ciclovia's hours.

]]> Comment on A sail from Panama to Colombia by Cay Hickson http://www.rideforclimate.com/journals/?p=87&cpage=1#comment-86602 Cay Hickson Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:14:36 +0000 http://www.rideforclimate.com/journals/?p=87#comment-86602 Hi, 1. Ask around at the PCYC yacht club for boats leaving. You might be able to walk from the bus station the 1 mile to the yacht club. I did it, but 75c is probably a worth while investment, after I nearly got attacked one day. 2.We spent 3 months in Portobelo, about 1.5 hr bus ride from Colon. Go to main bus station, ask for Portobelo bus. Buses leave every hour. There are a couple of places to stay in Portobelo for $10 a day. Ask around. Go speak to Marco at the El Drake bar. Some boats leave for Cartegena from Portobelo. 3.Other boats leave from Isla Linton, also called Puerto Lindo. Take the Costa Arriba bus from either Colon or from Portobelo. Buses leave only a few times a day. There might be a place to stay next to the PCYC (panama canal yacht club Annex). Walk along the beach to the left (when you're facing the anchorage). The chap there might be able to help you. Be prepared to wait a few days for a boat to leave. Good luck, and catch a taxi in Colon. The free-zone is really only for big businesses, not for the local people. Hi,
