The Bike Tour takes people to get to know the way of life of the locals, the way they occupy the city. The circuit lasts approximately six hours and has numerous stops for explanations, photos and contemplation.
This route will visit the same route as the Monumental Axis, plus the Unity Neighborhood route. It is a complete tour of a large urban area of the city.
Lúcio's four Scales are the Monumental, Gregarious, Residential, and Bucolic. We will go through them, realizing the characteristics and differences between each of the urban configurations, and the importance that this modernist project has for the history of architecture and urbanism in the world.
In this circuit, optionally, we have a change in the mode of transport - we take the subway with the bicycles. By bicycle we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different

The Setor Comercial Sul region is central to Brasília. During the weekdays, it is one of the main pedestrian flows in the city due to the services and institutions that are installed there. The proximity to the bus station and Esplanada dos Ministérios also reinforce this flow. This, added to other factors, imposes a genuine cultural diversity. In recent years, some public places have undergone a process of revitalization and there are some buildings by important architects such as Lelé and Oscar Niemeyer. The South Commercial Sector reflects the dynamics of the Gregária Scale and with the new uses that have been given to the spaces, it stands out - "If it were another Brazil, another Brasilia, another time, the South Commercial Sector would be the Champs Élysées that so inspired Lúcio Costa or La Rambla or any other European urban area with intense collective interaction. It's all there, ready to be used, used." (Conceição de Freitas - writer).
