The weather was amazing and at around 18:30 we pushed off from Cibeles, first in direction Neptune for a u-turn again in direction Cibeles and following that toward the north to Plaza Castilla. The police were trying to guide all as much as they could, and really only succeeded at the front of the mass.
It was awesome to take the major thoroughfares of this wonderful city, and we soon filled the entire width of the Castellana, hardly a narrow backstreet. Some of the motorists, who had no choice but to wait, were a little peeved. The majority took it well through and were in awe of the sheer number of bikes passing by.
Prior to pushing off I was interviewed by the TV station Cuatro, for a nine o´clock news section. Checking it out later on I noticed they had reduced my contribution to the mere "Soy de Holanda.." (I am from Holland)...:-) Below some video footage of my own of parts of the BiciCritica.
Hasta la próxima
