Don't ask me how I know!


There can easily be a thousand or more in one spot.
They are long or tall or fold down to a briefcase size.
They come in every imaginable colour, including rust.
They have their own traffic lights.
They are the means to carrying everything from animals and children to flowers to kitchen tables to paintings (and yes, we have seen each of those!)
They congregate in large groups or line up along the street.
They are everywhere!

They are bikes of every conceivable style---and there isn't a single helmet, pair of padded shorts, gloves, or special shirts with water bottles in sight.

They also have no problem running you down if you get in their lane. No problem at all. Don't ask me how I know.
