Cyclists pedaling along the treacherous stretch of the Ciclopista running through La Floresta have enjoyed safer travel during the Easter holiday period thanks to eight large metal drums strategically placed to keep speeding motorists from invading the unprotected trail. Half of the green trash barrels were covered with large warning signs labeled with the legend “por el respeto al ciclista.” The biker safety initiative was implemented by La Floresta homeowner association President Fernando Plata Salaman, under approval by the local traffic office. While the temporary barriers will be removed next Monday, the possibility of putting them up on future weekends is now under consideration.
