The Bicycle

---

The "taxi" bicycle is one of public transportation readily used in Bujumbura. Additionally, small vans (for city routes) and larger buses (for transportation over land between Burundi and other nearby countries) provide other alternatives to the public. During my stay in Bujumbura, I'm positive that I saw thousands of bicycles.
