Overview

The Bike Tour takes people to get to know the way of life of the locals, the way they occupy the city. The circuit lasts approximately six hours and has numerous stops for explanations, photos and contemplation.

This route will visit the same route as the Monumental Axis, plus the Unity Neighborhood route. It is a complete tour of a large urban area of the city.

Lúcio's four Scales are the Monumental, Gregarious, Residential, and Bucolic. We will go through them, realizing the characteristics and differences between each of the urban configurations, and the importance that this modernist project has for the history of architecture and urbanism in the world.

In this circuit, optionally, we have a change in the mode of transport - we take the subway with the bicycles. By bicycle we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different
