I just love the simplicity of the bicycles in Yambol. This was is so plain and functional with the normal plastic carrier although this one is rather special as it has a bell on the handlebar. This bike will last well beyond the new breed of cheap fashion mountain bikes that are increasingly seen on Yambol streets (and pavements). Bikes are never locked when parked up outside shops etc. That's good!
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

I always like pictures with bikes in them.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a sturdy bike. Here in the states bikes are always locked or they will be stolen. I really like the basket as well. It's not like those flimsy things you normally see. It looks almost like a grocery basket. Thanks for sharing the photo :)
