On my bike

This morning Bernardo took our car in for regular checkup and maintenance at the dealer. That’s why I finally ventured out to the streets on my bike. My aqua gym class is only a couple of km away and biking in the neighborhood isn’t worth mentioning but what surprised me was the crowd’s reaction. People were openly jeering at me, laughing and shouting phrases. And I wasn’t even wearing any spandex shorts or a tank top! Bernardo explained later that people consider biking in the streets of Luanda extremely dangerous and therefore crazy. Probably it’s the same here in Luanda Sul and because there are no cyclists around here therefore seeing one is very strange and draws attention.
