Bicycle movements are popping up all over the world, and Brazil is no exception. In July, an organization called Libvee organized a 26 kilometer bike-a-thon with hundreds of bike riders in São Paulo. Check out the cool promo video for the event:

Libvee is part of Eu Vou de Bike, an organization that promotes bike riding in São Paulo. As well as organizing events, they have a blog, podcasts, forums, and routes for urban bike riders.
