Bici Taxi, Cuba
One of many wonderful surprise cards coming from my longtime postcard pal Rod Eime. He has a way of picking the extraordinary and knows exactly what will make me smile :)
This postcard shows a typical Havana Vieja Bici Taxi. I had to google the word, as I had never heard of it before, but now I know !!! Bici Taxis are bicycle taxis, similar to rikshas, just with a bicycle on the the front. It is meant for short distance rides. But careful, these taxis are not meant for tourists! A driver who gets caught with tourists aboard will get fined with an amount high enough that he would have to work for several days to compensate the loss. So, in case you want to ride a Bici Taxi, keep quiet until you arrive at your destination, so nobody will find out that you are not Cuban :)
Thank you very much Rod for sending this wonderful card !!!
