I had read some blogs talking about how many bikes there were in Cuba because of the embargo and the economy and the gift of a million bikes from the Chinese and the sparse traffic due to gas shortages, but these must have been from a few years ago because the economy seems to be improving judging by the amount of vehicles on the road.
Not to say that there were no bikes on the road.
Mind you, even this fellow has somehow jury-rigged his bike with a motor though I'd be wary having all that gas and an iffy engine between my legs!
Havana is an extraordinary city but it gives little place in its infrastructure for bicycles or even pedestrians. Hopefully, they will buy into the cycling revolution that is happening in other countries before their streets and atmosphere are completely clogged.
