El guapo, I am so excited to hear that you found some cycling culture! last time I was in Madrid I almost dropped my ice cream too at the sight of a bike. I'm glad to see everyones input here, Sindundane, thanks for all the great info, I am definitely checking out the critical mass in madrid and stopping by that shop. If anyone has any more info or contacts riding in Madrid please let me know! I am trying to make my stay there as bike friendly and exciting as possible.
Also, I ride in Chicago, which has become a relatively good biking city, but my Spanish friends tell me that Madrid is a death trap and that they refuse to let me ride there. Any thoughts? Is it really that bad?
