Bikes!

lots of these trusty old things around with 28" tires . . . sweet!
The city of Cholula has more bikes in use than anywhere i have seen. There are mtn bikers meeting in the main plaza in large numbers on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as roadies, and bikes shops abound. I believe i could replace/fix pretty much any problem with my bike in this town.












Ah! sweet vindication boys - take note all you doubters, all, and i mean all, are riding steel single speeds with mustache bars - i see hundreds every day - this is my personal ride choice.
Ok this guy has the loudest boom box in Cholula under his boiling corn, it rivals the freakin' gas truck that comes through every morning at 6am - but he is an evening to midnight to vendor. Even the Mexicans on the street are aghast at how loud he is . . . but he does good business. He must to afford batteries for the additional x-mass lights up front. I bought ear plugs a while ago. Many businesses are run from bikes and one of the tricycles pictured in this post cost 2900 pesos new or about $225.
