The Traffic Mimes of Bogotá

Been living here in Bogotá all my life and in all my years of commuting (walking, bus and now almost exclusively cycling) and have never seen one of them.

Though I wish there were more of them. Traffic here (in general terms) is a complete nightmare but it is too civic culture.

I have photographs from the Poblado district of Medellín, Colombia of a man who had strung a tightrope between two lightpoles of a side street, and tightwalked them carrying hoops and bowling pins that he juggled while cars passed below.

Anyone trying this in the U.S. would be arrested, so it was surprising to see. I wonder how the insurance works.
