Bicycles are among the most-widely used vehicles in Antigua. One the reason is that you can move faster with a bike than with an automobile.
Do people use bicycles as transportation or just for leisure in your part of the world?

Rudy, i think bikes are faster in Antigua because they don’t have brakes

Sydney is a really bike unfriendly city, but there are attempts. I would say most bike riding here would be recreational.

The Hispanic males ride bikes when they first come to our area, I never see Hispanic females riding bikes. They either walk or ride in a car.
As soon as the Hispanics can they buy a car. Our winters are very cold and it is a bad experience to ride a bike in zero weather with the wind blowing around your ears

Some folks use them as transportation although most use cars! There are special bicycle lanes and routes to get where your going faster. Albuquerque is very bicycle friendly!

Helsinki is known for its indestructible cyclists - much as I support non-polluting traffic, they come from nowhere and try to murder you if you’re on foot, or perish beneath you if you’re driving. Also, we have a special bicycle-police unit, very handy for zig-zagging in and out of crowded central streets, getting from a to b faster than by any other means. Only during the non-frozen months, mind…

Here in La Ceiba, bikes are a very common form of transportation, along with buses and taxis. In other parts of Honduras, bicycles are less commonly used because of the terrain, hilly and mountainous.
