I want to go biking in cities, but from what I’ve read most police departments simply do not give a fuck about stolen bikes. How do I make sure my bike doesn’t get stolen?

    I used to live there in 2013 and it felt super safe. How is it these days as I heard some bad bits about it.

      I felt pretty safe when I was there. I had no issues. I’m a white guy from NYC for some context and I didn’t feel unsafe at all. I was in El Poblado for the most part.

      I visited to meet a few of my World of Warcraft guild mates in person and eat a ton of Colombian food. So probably not your typical tourist experience in Medellin.

      Only wish my Spanish was better… I don’t speak much and that was a challenge.

        Yeah it forced me to buck up and learn a bit, which I maintain to this day. Poblado has always been pretty safe from what I remember; I was down in Envigado and really got along with that place, what will it being it’s open little town.
