Conservation
Chapultepec faces urban pressure from visitors and development; stick to paths, carry out trash, and avoid feeding wildlife to support local conservation efforts.

Acclimatize to altitude
Spend a day in the city before riding; Mexico City's elevation (~2,240 m) can make exertion feel harder than at sea level.
Morning departures are cooler
Start early to avoid midday traffic and heat; parks and bike lanes are most pleasant before 10am.
Bring a small repair kit
Although bikes are provided in good condition, a tube and mini-pump can save time if you get a puncture.
Watch for pedestrians and traffic
Sections on Reforma and in Condesa are busy — maintain control, signal clearly, and ride single-file when necessary.
Light cycling jacket
Useful for cool mornings and quick weather changes in the high-altitude city
spring
Sunscreen and sunglasses
Protects against strong UV at altitude during open stretches and park exposure
summer
Reusable water bottle
