I am in the Sorbeteria Colon eating guanabana sorbet in the midst of a weekly event called BiciRuta.
They close off half of Merida’s main (or at least ritziest) thoroughfares to cars and various vendors set up their arts ARGHH BRAINFREEZE!!
& crafts. Most of them appear to be homemade but not all and there are many foods as well.
I borrowed a bike but of the dozen or so parked near by, mine is the only one with a lock.
I have seen that quite a lot around here bikes just parked on the street, not locked.

(that brain freeze was real)
