Visitors to Oaxaca who are looking to explore the area by bicycle may very well enjoy an easy ride into the countryside to get a sense of the rural communities that dot the Valles Centrales. Bikes can be rented from Zona Bici (www.zonabici.com.mx) or Bicicletas Pedro Martinez (www.bicicletaspedromartinez.com) for a reasonable rate, and are perfect for a day’s outing.
Once out in the Tlacolula Valley, there are miles of dirt roads that can take the rider as far as he or she cares to go, with a minimum of climbing and no technical challenges.
