New bicycle on the farm

26th June 2013:

This is a brand new bicycle for the farm. It will be used to bring produce to market. It will have baskets back and front.

NOW the big problem is learning to cycle. Not as easy as you might think.

I’m not sure if I ever saw a woman on a bicycle, in Malawi, but maybe that’s just old age creeping in. This is of course a man’s bike but it looks like Wessie is the first to try it.

None of the women would ever have owned a bicycle, and most local women have little hope of ever owning a bike.

It looks like they’re up for it and so it should be fun watching them.
