It's something I haven't seen in other Latin capitals, such as Caracas, Venezuela (probably because the gasoline is given away almost free) or La Paz, Bolivia (likely because of the difficult topography and great poverty). There are also hundreds or thousands of bike taxis, called 'bici-taxis,' which carry passengers short distances. However, they are technically illegal, apparently because the regular taxi drivers don't want the competition.

I can see a use on our cycle campaigning displays when trying to encourage people on the utility benefits of cycles (not just the sport and leisure dressed in lycra stuff) JM from UK As these pictures have, apparently, been ‘donated’ for the blog, can we assume they are copyright free?
