As I plan to be there for 6 months, was wondering if I should bring my bicycle as a mode of transportation? Any thoughts?

Having a bike never hurts but be VERY careful about riding here as the drivers are nuts and not much respect for the rules of the road

Thanks, I will give it some consideration.
as A Avid Electric Bicycle Rider . And Been Almost Killed here In Santa Barbara Ca, And Have Driven Thur Crazy 3rd World City's . Please Wear A Super Bright safety Vest / Helmet With A Face Guard And A Mirror On Your Glasses ! ! Mirrors On handlebars && LOUD Horn .. I have 115 db. Air Horn . They Think I'm A Truck...!! ( $35 Marine West / Refillable with Your Bike Pump.. ( and GPS Tracker inside Seat Post , alerts your Cell Phone / ) I Have Bad Knees so Pedaling is Great ; But A Full Suspension Electric Gives U Power to get AWAY , ie Dogs and Survive Big Potholes .. Which are Huge.. I Crashed A Lot On Fast Motorcycles , in my Youth Now I'm Paying For the Sins of My youth..... I Ride with Kneepads .....

All good advice but riding a bike here no matter what precautions you take is dangerous at best.

Agreed.
Thanks, I appreciate your input.
You are welcome and good luck

I just returned from 10 days in Las Terrenas, most of that time spent in El Centro. I only saw a couple of bicycles, and those were being ridden by kids on the sidewalk. I would spend some time there, seeing the streets and the driving, before deciding if you want to ride around town.
In most places I would not ride a bicycle!
Only thing more dangerous on the road than a moto is a bike.
