So many ways to use a bike

March 2015

Myanmar (Burma) had some great bikes.

Below is a collection of photographs of bicycles I took around Mandalay and Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma).

There were bikes everywhere.

And most of them seemed to be the old style of bikes with curved handlebars and rod braking systems.

I liked the ‘transport’ bikes.

And these guys worked hard on their bikes as they transported people, goods and sometimes both.
