What can I say? This is a beautiful example of the inginuity of the African people. This bike was designed and built by Ghanaian welders.

The rider runs alongside before starting to climb. Midway up, he pulls the chain by hand to keep up his speed. Handlebars are located at several levels for steering.

Don't stop!

Traveling shoe salesman
We met in in Liati one morning. He travels around small villages selling mostly flip-flop sandals, and a few other Chinese imports. He focuses on villages that don't have shops that carry what he does.
