Dog on a Bike Stuns Mexico City Pedestrians

Every Sunday, the iconic Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City transforms into a giant playground.

• Cars are banned and the avenue becomes a vibrant stage for cyclists, skaters, rollerbladers, and more.
• Over 100,000 people fill the boulevard each week, turning it into a living mosaic of everyday life.

A Kaleidoscope of Participants

All of them gather beneath the towering Angel of Independence, creating a dynamic tableau that reflects the city’s diversity and energy.

A Heart‑warming Moment

During one open‑street event, I met Benji, a young boy who introduced me to his faithful companion: an eight‑year‑old dog.

• The pup has ridden in Benji’s basket for two years and always sports a helmet and sunglasses—a small but striking reminder of safety in the bustling city.
• Watching Benji’s dog glide past historic landmarks, safe and cheerful, captured the true spirit of Mexico City’s Sunday tradition.

Community in Motion

This event not only offers a chance to explore the city without traffic but also showcases how people create community and joy in shared public spaces.
