This
presentaFon
shows
photos
of
bikes,
pedicabs,
horse
carts
and
some
other
transportaFon
features
like
countdown
signals.
I
have
also
included
some
addiFonal
photos
from
the
trip
that
do
not
necessarily
have
anything
to
do
with
transportaFon.

2. A
huge,
but
presumably
light
load.

4. There
were
lots
of
cyclists
in
the
sugar
factory
town
Niquero.
This
was
one
of
my
favorite
small
towns
of
the
trip.

5. A
lot
of
bikes
have
the
wooden
child
seat
added
like
the
one
in
the
middle.

6. Those
woven
baskets
were
everywhere
in
Niquero
and
were
the
bane
of
my
existence
for
a
couple
days
while
my
wife
forced
me
to
ask
everyone
where
they
got
them.
They
were
a
phantom.
Nobody
knew
where
they
came
from
but
everyone
had
one.
Finally
we
got
directed
to
a
random
apartment.
She
didn’t
have
any,
but
gave
us
direcFons
to
the
guy
a
few
miles
out
of
town
who
makes
them.

7. We
went
to
his
shack,
but
alas,
he
was
out
of
materials
and
his
son
wouldn’t
be
back
with
them
for
a
couple
days.
We
hoped
to
find
them
in
the
next
town,
but
nope,
there
were
none.
UnFl
the
last
day
we
spoSed
some
lady
with
one
and
asked
her
about
it.
She
told
us
the
guy
who
makes
them
was
out
of
materials.
Then
she
glanced
around,
ushered
us
into
the
house
and
sold
hers
to
us.

8. Pedicabs
in
Havana

11. Veggie
vendors
in
Manzanillo

12. SanFago
was
dominated
by
moto
cabs.
These
guys
were
the
scourge
of
the
roadway
–
completely
out
of
control.

14. Some
more
horse
cart
photos

16. The
occasional
oxen

17. I
found
this
tractor
rather
aSracFve
(but
not
sexy
a
la
Kenny
Chesney).

21. A
less
loved
form
of
transport

22. This
sign
was
posted
on
La
Farola
(The
Rollercoaster),
a
very
sinuous
mountain
pass
south
of
Baracoa.

23. Countdown
Fmers
for
the
red…

24. The
green…

25. And
even
the
amber!

26. Sure,
this
is
a
form
of
transportaFon
too!

28. That
about
wraps
it
up
for
transportaFon
in
Cuba.
Here
are
a
few
other
random
photos
from
our
trip,
just
for
fun.

29. I
assure
you,
our
regular
touring
bikes
are
way
more
loaded.

30. And
way
less
crappy.
We
bought
these
junkers
in
Mexico
so
we
wouldn’t
have
to
fly
with
our
regular
bikes.

31. Look
at
that
flimsy
Fre.
We
were
surprised
at
how
few
flats
we
got
though.

32. One
of
our
two
wild
camping
spots
in
Cuba.
While
technically
not
illegal,
camping
is
very
tough
because
people
are
so
suspicious.
You
have
to
make
sure
you
aren’t
seen
because
it
may
mean
having
to
move
in
the
middle
of
the
night.

33. This
was
the
other.
We
were
barely
out
of
sight
from
the
road
and
our
bikes
had
to
lay
down
on
a
45-­‐degree
drop
off
next
to
the
tent.

34. We
did
get
our
fair
share
of
lungfulls
of
this.

35. My
wife
worked
in
fashion,
so
we
had
to
check
this
out
when
we
randomly
walked
by.
They
were
very
friendly
and
gave
us
a
great
tour.

37. Maybe
they
just
wanted
us
to
see
the
sign.

38. We
also
got
to
check
out
a
tobacco
shed
on
what
was
otherwise
a
horrible
tour.

39. A
random
farm
I
liked.

40. Cubans
love
ice
cream.
There
is
this
one
huge
park
in
downtown
SanFago
with
dozens
of
state
ice
cream
vendors.
It’s
insanely
cheap
(like
less
than
10
cents
a
scoop)
and
they
line
up
like
crazy
for
it,
filling
buckets,
etc.
Actually,
it’s
more
of
a
crowd,
but
everyone
knows
their
place.
You
have
to
ask
who
is
“el
ulFmo”
and
then
you
are
the
“ulFmo”.

41. A
sandwich
stand
in
Bayamo

42. Crumbling
building
in
Manzanillo

43. A
cool
old
house
in
Niquero

44. Some
English
guy
we
met
insisted
on
taking
our
photo
in
front
of
this
building
in
Guantanamo.
It
was
built
by
a
famous
architect
I
cannot
remember.

45. The
cold
spring
was
a
welcome
relief
on
a
long
climb
up
“la
farola”.
The
pig
was
delicious.

46. Ché
is
everywhere

47. There
was
a
lot
of
poliFcal
propaganda,
but
there
were
also
lots
of
signs
talking
about
the
virtues
of
educaFon
and,
like
this
one,
the
value
of
loving
your
child
and
raising
him
with
respect.

48. ‘The
revoluFon
is
invincible’

49. Or
not

50. On
one
of
our
final
days
there
we
decided
to
see
how
the
other
half
lives
and
went
to
a
pool
bar
on
the
roojop
of
some
fancy
hotel.
There
happened
to
be
a
fashion
show
happening,
but
nobody
seemed
to
be
paying
much
aSenFon.
Cuba
is
an
odd
place.
