	Streetsblog » Ciclovia: Is NYC Ready?
		I was recently in Bogotá for their weekly Ciclovia event and experienced first hand what may be one of the simplest and most powerful ideas for bringing a livable streets movement into reality.
		Ciclovia spans over 70 miles of the city every Sunday and holiday, enabling people to explore communities previously perceived as unwelcoming to anyone but cars.
		My guess is no. NYC closes big streets all the time, so a Ciclovia type event would come either in addition to the many closings we already have or at the cost of the existing events.
