Sheldon Brown's Yucatan Photos

Bicycle

The typical Yucatecan bike is a 28" wheel roadster with a coaster brake and double top tubes. This one, being ridden by a waiter on his way to work, appears to be in fair condition, though the headlight bulb and chainguard are missing.

Note the cool pompom streamers, and the rear axle pegs to let passengers ride on the luggage rack.
