Bikes

We have bought bikes to get around here. They weren’t the cheapest available but they weren’t the most expensive either. They are 18 speed but haven’t got suspension although the roads here are like mountain biking trails in NZ! We road them home from the shop and then for another ride one afternoon after which Mark had to tighten almost all the bolts holding his one together only to find all the ball bearings in the rear cluster missing and the bike not working next time he went to get on it. The shopkeeper even looked surprised!!!

We are really enjoying being on bikes and being able to get around cheaply. Today we went to the tourist part of town for a ride and twice we were stopped by police to get one side of our wheel sprayed as we went through a bird flu area!!!!
