Due to the high price of public transport - which like in the UK is run by private companies - bicycicles, even in this soaring heat are commonplace. What´s more, most bike usually have two people on them. The extra person usually sits awakwardly on the handlbars or precariosuly on the cross bar. Despite the loads they seem to move with ease.
As well as other family members these bikes are used to carry basically whatever will fit on them without falling off.
Here are my favourite spots so far in Leon:
5. A man with a young baby on his knee. The baby moving up and down with the motion of the pedals.
4. Four chickens. Two hanging off each handlebar. Upsidedown of course. Not a pretty sight.
3. A full length wardrobe mirror carried under one arm while the other arm steered and desperately kept balence.
2. A whole crate of beer resting on the cross bar.
1. Two freshly iced birthday cakes without boxes or any form of covering. One balenced on each hand - waiter style - by the passenger perched on the handlebars. Unfortunately I can´t verify if any made it in one peice.
