A country at cycling pace.
Pedaleando Uruguay
Uruguay, lived by bike.
Uruguay is small enough to cross by bike in a few days, and slow enough to be worth it. This is the English edition of Pedaleando Uruguay — a guide for anyone thinking of riding here, and a way of reading the country at the pace of a bicycle. Start with how to arrive; stay for where the riding takes you.

Slow cycle-touring — what it means here

Montevideo is learning to ride
Not the Uruguay of long journeys, but the everyday one.
The Rambla, before and after: what thirty years changed — and didn't

Every place, on one map
Pedaleando Uruguay wants to be the digital home of cycling in Uruguay — as a way of travelling and a way of inhabiting the country. An editorial platform before a map; a community before a business.
