There are some brave souls who ride their bikes in this city. I am dying to get a bike but I can´t find a used shop anywhere. They do have a monthly Critical Mass event here but it seems that biking is a very underground activity. Many of the streets are cobbled and narrow and those that aren´t are busy with crazy traffic.
In any case, this is an interesting contraption. The seat spins to face front and a friend can sit on it on your way to the bar. Foot pegs flip out from the axle. On your way home from the bar the danger increases dramatically. Amanda and I also saw a bicycle that converts into a stroller. Try to picture this; The bike has two wheels in front, as a bike. Then, to convert it, the frame is hinged in the center so the rear wheel flips beneath the bike to stick out in the front. The handle bars remain in place and you then push the bike as a stroller. In either position, there was a child´s seat attached to the front.

- We are spending the summer in Spain and hoping that this simple blog will keep our friends and family informed about our activities. Of course, if you want to follow this in chronological order, you have to start at the bottom of the blog. Also, by clicking on any of the blog photos you should be taken to a Flickr page with additional images of our trip.
