Mazatlán, Sinaloa.– The bicycle lanes built on the most important avenues represent prevention and safety for those who use two-wheelers either to get to work or to play sports.

“It is dangerous, because in this area there are many cyclists who use this road to exercise or train and do it at high speed, and running into this is a real obstacle,” said Fernando, a cyclist in the area.
