Bikes of Sri Lanka

 Check out the battery on the back rack that he's wired his 'claxon' to. Lottery ticket seller.


 No frills commuter here. Function over fashion.

A business on two wheels. Common sight.

A business on four wheels.

This is bicycle hardware. Beautiful.

The ice cream man of Galle.

Sounds bikey.

Took this shot to show the lottery tickets on the front mounted board. Was only whist cropping that I saw the paint job. Pink, yellow and rust. Lush.

 A Raleigh. Indian manufactured?

Red shirt, red bike. Spotted this guy on his bike whilst riding in a tuk-tuk. Had to ask the driver to u-turn to get the shot. The bike was gleaming! The kid was super sharp looking. Custom Atlas tricked out for road racing.

Is a braver one than me to ride the roads of Lanka. Suspect these guys have some scary tales at the end of their tour. 

Some serious frame tweaking on this ride. Can't imagine this ships from the factory like this. Awesome build.
