Hello black and white and "bicitaxis" lovers. Taxiiiiii, taxiiiiii...! anyone would shout in New York for example, but in Old Havana it would be Biciii, Biciii, Biciii..! And it is for several reasons I think. To the current habanero...wait, wait..., better said, to the inhabitant of Havana, because there are more people from the provinces living in Havana than born habaneros, and it is curious that migration in Cuba has developed in the following way: from the towns to the provincial capitals, from the provincial capitals to Havana, from Havana to any part of the world that is not Cuba... even to Haiti... even to Haiti.... even to Haiti, Haiti!!!, how curious, I swear I "have no idea why this is happening".
But well, what I was going to say is that I migrated to another topic, the inhabitants of Old Havana do not like walking very much even though this area is not very big really, either because it is very hot, because it is not so nice to walk and contemplate the urban landscape, because of the puddles of sewage and salideros, in short, many prefer to take a Bicitaxi. What an experience! I must tell you in my inexperienced opinion that to get on one of these you have to be in good health and in good physical shape. Although they seem harmless they are not. You feel every cobblestone and every bump in your kidneys and vertebrae, and most of them lack cushioning, it's like being on a disc jumping all the time. But at the end of the day it is a unique experience and a sacrificed and honest work, if the streets were in better conditions you would enjoy it more. With these Bici images I want to enter the daily challenge #monomad. I hope you like this proposal. See You!

Hola apasionados del blanco y negro y de los "bicitaxis". Taxiiii, taxiiii..! gritaría cualquiera en Nueva York por ejemplo, pero en la Habana Vieja sería Biciii, Biciii..! Y es por varias razones pienso yo. Al habanero actual...espera, espera..., mejor dicho, al habitante de la Habana, porque hay más personas de provincias viviendo en la Habana que habaneros natos, y es curioso que la migración en Cuba se ha desarrollado de la siguiente forma: de los pueblos hacia las capitales de provincias, de las capitales de provincias hacia La Habana, de La Habana hacia cualquier parte del mundo que no se Cuba... incluso hacía Haití. ¡¡¡Haití!!!, que curioso, te juro que "ni idea de porque está pasando esto". Pero bueno a lo que iba que emigré hacia otro tema, al habitante de la Habana Vieja no le gusta mucho caminar a pesar de que esta zona no es muy grande en verdad, ya sea porque hay mucho calor, porque no es tan agradable pasear y contemplar el paisaje urbano, por los charcos de aguas negras y salideros, en fin, muchos prefieren tomar un Bicitaxi. ¡Que experiencia! Debo decirles en mi inexperta opinión que para subirse a uno de estos hay que tener buena salud y estar en buena forma física. Aunque parezcan inofensivos no lo son. Te sientes cada adoquín y cada bache en los riñones y las vertebras, y es que la mayoría carece de amortiguación, es como estar en plena disco saltando todo el tiempo. Pero al fin y al cabo es una experiencia singular y un trabajo sacrificado y honesto, si las calles estuvieran en mejores condiciones se disfrutaba más. Con estas Bici imágenes quiero hacer entrada al reto diario #monomad. Espero les agrade esta propuesta ¡Nos vemos!

Excellent moments captured, street photography always has a magic in the photo results.
I think so too, the expontaneity of street photography is truly magical, it bares people's souls.
I've noticed that a lot of them are now using a battery, they don't pedal as much as they used to.
I feel like going for a walk around Havana to take photos, why don't we go together one of these days?
Luckily for some, they have already installed the electric system on their bikes, humanizing that work (although it is not cheap to do so). Of course we will go together to do photography in Old Havana, what better scenery could there be? Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🤗
Congratulations. Today's #monomad third place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
