Like most modern cities, Vitoria closes off streets on Sundays so that the citizens can ride bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, or whatever they like. It's called Ciclovia in some places. It's brilliant. Here's a bit of what I saw in Vitoria last month.
Riding with a surfboard is nothing special in Brazil, but I love that he is towing the boy along with the rope.
Skateboards and bicycles are also standard fare in Brazil, but this is just spectacular.
Family time.
Kids time.
Creative contraption time.
Skate time.
Skate/bike/family time.
Pet time.
Bikini/bike time. It's Brazil, after all.
It's good to know places like Vitória: without fame and not much explored by tourists.

ReplyDeleteWow! You've seen so many thing in Vitória! I think I should slow down a little on my bike in order to observe all those important details you've found there in the so-called "rua de lazer" of Vitória! This concept is newly installed here and there are still some people fighting against it.
ReplyDeleteI hope this will be the start of a new era for Vitória corresponding to the devolution of public space to human being...
