Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico – A group of local athletes, cyclists and sports organizations is calling for better infrastructure for people who ride and train on two wheels, with a proposal for a scenic bike path in Puerto Vallarta.
The initiative is aimed at creating a dedicated route where cyclists can exercise and travel with less exposure to vehicle traffic. Organizers say the project could also benefit runners and other people who use public roads for recreation and transportation.
The proposed bike path could do more than improve safety. By incorporating Puerto Vallarta’s natural scenery, it could offer residents and visitors a new way to experience the area while supporting healthier, more sustainable transportation.
To bring attention to the proposal, organizers are planning a large community bike ride on September 20. Cyclists, members of the local sports community and the general public are invited to participate.
The ride will begin at 8:00 am at Los Arcos del Malecón, where participants will gather before setting out. The peaceful demonstration is intended to highlight the need for road infrastructure that better accommodates cyclists, runners and other vulnerable road users.
Organizers say a dedicated cycling route could help reduce cyclists’ exposure to vehicles on major roads and lower the risk of accidents. They also believe the project could encourage more people to choose cycling for exercise and transportation.
The initiative is directed at Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus, with organizers seeking an opportunity to discuss the project with state authorities and evaluate its feasibility. Their goal is for a scenic bike path to eventually be considered within the state’s public works and budget programs.
For supporters, the September 20 ride is more than a recreational outing. It is an effort to start a conversation about how Puerto Vallarta can expand its cycling infrastructure while bringing together the goals of safer mobility, outdoor recreation, tourism and environmental sustainability.
