There is an extensive network of bicycle trails in the city, especially in the Providencia commune. The longest section is the Americo Vespuccio road, which contains a very wide dirt path with many trees through the center of a street used by motorists on both sides. The next longest path is along the Mapocho River along Andrés Bello Avenue. Many people use folding bicycles to commute to work.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bicycles in Santiago, New York, and Tokyo |url=http://brophyworld.com/bicycles-in-santiago-new-york-and-tokyo/ |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150926071431/http://brophyworld.com/bicycles-in-santiago-new-york-and-tokyo/ |archive-date=26 September 2015 |access-date=1 August 2015 |website=brophyworld.com}}</ref>
