Simple tips to arrive in style, without rushing and with the best energy.
Using ECOBICI to get to work is one of the smartest ways to get around Mexico City: it’s fast, efficient, eco-friendly, and good for your body. Like any daily commute, it requires some planning. Here’s what to bring, what to wear, and the basic rules for riding with confidence and keeping your style intact from start to finish.

1. Before you ride
Plan your route using the app. Knowing where to start and finish your ride saves you time and avoids unnecessary detours, especially during rush hour. Identify bike-sharing stations near your office and consider alternatives in case they get crowded.
Check the weather before you head out. On rainy or windy days, choose well-lit streets with cycling infrastructure. Bring a lightweight rain jacket, quick-drying clothing, and reflective gear. A small cloth can also be useful for drying the seat and preventing discomfort.

2. During your journey
Hydration is key, regardless of the distance. Carry water or an electrolyte drink, especially on hot days.
Protect your skin with sunscreen and choose lightweight, breathable clothing. Dressing in layers will allow you to adapt to the weather and arrive at your destination in better condition. Wearing a helmet, while not mandatory, increases your safety.
Stay visible, especially if you’re riding at night. Use your bell to signal your approach, avoid using headphones, and always obey traffic laws: traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, bicycle signals, etc.

3. Style that matches your style
Yes, you can look amazing while cycling. For everyday wear, pants are usually the most practical option; however, if you prefer a skirt or dress, you can pair them with biker shorts for added comfort, or adjust longer garments to avoid snagging. ECOBICI bikes are equipped with mudguards, which help protect your clothes during your ride.
Commuting to work on an ECOBICI doesn’t just transform your commute, it transforms your day. It’s choosing to move better, with more freedom, and at your own pace. Enjoy the ride, arrive with a positive attitude, and when you’re finished, don’t forget to lock your bike securely.
