"AFRICA BIKE SERIES"
This week we feature a series showing how bikes are used as a means of transport in Africa
________________________________________________ "In many parts of Africa, a bicycle is more than a means to transport the person riding it. Little landlocked Burundi is one of Africa's poorest countries, (GDP per capita is $340 per year) with only 6 motor vehicles owned per 1,000 people. So while roads may be blissfully quiet, most bicycles used by Burundians will either be transporting other passengers or cargo. It doesn't make it easier that almost all bikes in use here are single-speed, and the country is one of the most mountainous on the continent. I had no idea how far this guy was transporting this bike-load of bricks, but he seemed in good spirits when I stopped in awe and offered some water. " Peter Gostelow @petegost
