Cars are Traffic - Road Riding in Mexico City

As I state in the intro, not your typical tourist route, but one that I’m fond of. There is sense to the chaos if you allow it to happen and do no try to control it, but to try be invisible inside of it. Most cyclists try to be visible to stay safe, but once drivers see a cyclist they start to behave in ways that they normally wouldn’t, making it harder to predict what they’ll do. Often they’ll just slow the entire flow of traffic down which comes from a place of concern, but I don’t want to be the cause of a ripple in the web of movement. I like the idea of highly skilled rider moving faster than anything else in a city while also causing the absolute minimum interference to others movement. This aproach only makes sense if you have thousands and thousands of hours of experience in traffic. When even the most senseless actions no longer surprise you. I’ve been riding full time for 20 years, most of those as a messenger. There’s so much to take in and process when riding on
