Mexico City suspends Sunday cycling events for football match security

Mexico City's popular "Muévete en Bici" (Move by Bike) Sunday cycling event and its accompanying "Biciescuela Dominical" (Sunday Bike School) have been suspended for July 5. The Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) announced the cancellation, citing the need for security operations related to the upcoming football match between Mexico and England.

The "Muévete en Bici" program, which typically closes 36 kilometers of city roads to vehicular traffic from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., was scheduled to follow a specific route starting from the Alberca Olímpica and proceeding through various avenues. This recreational activity is a staple for many residents seeking exercise and leisure on weekends.

Similarly, the "Biciescuela Dominical" offers free bicycle lessons and loaner services for participants learning to ride or improve their cycling skills. Locations such as Zapata, Utopía Meyehualco, and Bosque de San Juan de Aragón, which usually host these workshops, will also be closed. The suspension affects numerous citizens who rely on these programs for recreation and skill development.
