Du-bikes

An overseas visit wouldn't be complete without a bike analysis. The locals use bikes quite a bit, and these are regular workhorses for the local delivery guys
Every local shop & restaurant has a couple of these outside and you can phone through orders for delivery, be it a bottle of water, a meal or your dry-cleaning. Most of the time a two wheeler works well and can easily be salmoned against the flow of traffic, but for the larger shops they need more boot space... 
There's also an odd trend in high-barred BMX bikes, although I think the pegs are used more for taking passengers than grinding the local ledges. The wheels are cool though   
Seems to be a bit of a 'thing'
as are branded bikes - this one a hummer. Not so sure about the mountain bike it's locked to though!
Regardless of the frame material, wheel size or componentry always remember that a bike is a bike and therefore cool... the text on the right says 'Ride Bike, Enjoy Life' and that sounds like a mantra to live by...
