on a sunday and holidays, the road along the beaches of copacabana, ipanema, leblon, aterro do flamengo, are always closed to traffic, and it is common for locals and visitors to engage in outdoor activities such as the quadracycles.

the area has a completely different feel and is much safer for those wanting to partake in exercise by the sea - a wide avenue closed to traffic and open to pedestrians makes it the ideal setting for a ride with a gorgeous view.

the area on sundays is usually full of walkers, runners, roller bladers, skateboarders, and cyclists - including quadracyclers - while the beaches in zona sul remain as the most popular, quadracycles can be found in various locations around rio, all offering great sights and  beautiful greenery.
