Have you ever caught yourself dreaming of that brand new sports car or get lost thinking how big of an SUV you should get,…or how about snow tires, airbags, and crying over extremely high gas prices??? Well the best part about living in Tulum is that you can ditch your fancy gas guzzling car and pick up a very free eco-friendly bike!
The preferred transportation method of Tulum!
The bike is the preferred form of transportation in every neighborhood in Tulum! It is incredibly easy to get around and there are safe bike paths built all around the town. Bikes often come with baskets on the front so you can cart around your personal items or even groceries.
If you don’t own a bike; don’t worry! You can rent them all around town for a very tiny price!
Just think of it as a wide open sunroof!
The Tulum bike is the new kind of convertible and the new and improved sunroof! And who does not love a sunroof on a bright sunny day? Feel the wind in your hair, breath fresh air; and if you love listening to music while driving, just pop in your headphones!
Even babies ride a bike?
Bike transportation is always a family affair! Do not be surprised to see mothers riding their bikes with special “car seats†or bike seats if you will for their babies! If that is shocking to you, it won’t be after you have spent time living in Tulum and getting to know the culture.
The 21st Century Ice Cream Truck!
Biking is also the preferred transportation for area vendors! Why stay in one place to sell your items when you can be mobile? And without traffic I may add! You can find locals selling bread, juice, candy, ice cream, water and all kinds of goodies from their tricycles as they ride down your street, clapping or whistling to give you notification they are around! I like to say it’s like the Tulum Style Ice cream truck of the 21st century!
You have to see it to believe it!
Have you ever seen a man running an operation squeezing juice by pedaling his bike? If you have not and it seems unbelievable I can assure you it is very believable! This just proves if you have a little imagination you can do anything! And best of all you can do it all by being green and saving the environment!
Search a bike friendly neighborhood for your home!
When you are looking for homes in Tulum you should ask your Mexico real estate agent about properties that are within a good biking distance to and from beaches, grocery stores, restaurants and other area necessities.
With the up and coming neighborhood and town center of Aldea Zama, there is going to be even more reason to ditch the car and grab your two wheeler!
One of my favorite things about Tulum is the free spirit and simple minded living! Those living in Tulum are not part of a fast paced lifestyle. They relax, and they take life to the fullest as they are surrounded by all kind of beauty and nature.
For more information about properties in Tulum, which have nice “bike friendly†routes nearby, talk with your trusted Mexico real estate agent.
