A collective journey that continues to move forward
For 16 years, ECOBICI has been part of the daily rhythm of Mexico City. It’s there on the commute to work, on the way home, in that moment of respite between errands. Cycling has ceased to be just a way to get around; it’s become a different way to experience and explore the city.
Over this time, millions of journeys have demonstrated that getting around by bike transforms more than it seems. It changes habits, improves how we interact with our surroundings, and adds up to small decisions that, together, generate a real impact. Every pedal stroke counts: for our health, our mood, and the air we share.
There are obvious reasons to keep cycling. Your body gets stronger, stress decreases, and movement flows without depending on traffic. Others are felt in everyday life: saving time, simplifying journeys, moving freely, and getting where you need to go without complications. Getting on an ECOBICI is easy, fast, and accessible—just as urban mobility should be.
There are also reasons that aren’t always measurable, but are definitely felt. The relative silence compared to the noise generated by engines, the more direct contact with the city, the opportunity to observe and experience it at a different pace. Cycling allows you to connect with your surroundings in a new way. It’s a moment for yourself, a space where it’s just you and your ECOBICI, surrounded by everything your senses take in.
For the past 16 years, ECOBICI has been part of a broader transformation. Every trip contributes to a city with fewer emissions, less noise, and cleaner air. Every kilometer traveled represents a conscious choice: moving around mindfully, minimizing our environmental impact, and committing to more sustainable mobility.
This anniversary—in addition to celebrating the milestone—celebrates those who make the system possible every day. The people who choose cycling to get there, to return home, to disconnect, or to reconnect. Because as long as someone is pedaling, the movement keeps moving forward.
ECOBICI is celebrating 16 years of riding with you, and the reasons to keep pedaling are still there, multiplying with every journey. Here’s to many more!
