There are many places to start this bikeway, I'll assume the bikeway directions with start from the ACA building on libertador avenue. Head southeast on Avenida Del Libertador towards Avenida Nueve de Julio. At the intersection where Av. Del Libertador meets Av. Alvear and Av. Pres. Figueroa Alcorta you have two options towards Av. Nueve de Julio.  First is to bear right on Av. Alvear, head slightly uphill continuing on Av. Alvear, crossing Av. Callao for about five blocks bearing right onto Cerrito Street.  You're now at the start of Av. Nueve de Julio. The other option is to bear left at the intersection of Av. Del Libertador continuing southeast on Av. Figueroa Alcorta until you get to the highway overpass. Turn Right onto Cerrito street, head slightly uphill and you're at the start of Av.
