Since 2011, Ciclociudades has been a key initiative of ITDP Mexico to measure the progress of cycling mobility across cities — originally focused on Mexico, now expanded to include other countries in Latin America. The Monitor and its past Rankings have been influential in guiding governments, planners, and civil society in designing and implementing better active mobility infrastructure and policies across the region. The 2025 Ciclociudades Monitor is the first iteration since the 2021 ranking, and offers a pioneering tool designed for measuring and tracking the development of cycling mobility across Latin American cities. Building on more than a decade of experience evaluating urban cycling, the Monitor expands its scope and ambition by offering a comprehensive framework that integrates the primary sectors of governments, civil society, and cyclists. Through a carefully designed methodology, the Monitor also provides reliable and comparable data to support evidence-based decision-making and foster the growth of fairer, more sustainable, and more ‘cyclable’ cities across the region. he new Monitor further incorporates participatory mapping, user-perception surveys, and questionnaires from cycling groups, valuing everyday cyclists and advocates as vital contributors to data and decision-making.
