Under new rules put in place by Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, public officials in Mexico City are required to ride their bikes to work at least once per month.
"The new city regulation that has just come into force is aimed at reducing traffic and pollution in one of the most congested cities in the world."
"About four million cars travel every day through the city of more than 18m people - and officials say their aim is to cut pollution as well as disease."
"Tax incentives are envisaged for firms encouraging alternative transport."
"Those officials who cannot cycle because of health reasons, or because they live too far from work, will be allowed to use public transport, but not their vehicle."
