Acoustic bike culture in Cuba

A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

I really enjoyed that. It's an interesting aspect of the Cuban isolation issue. I've seen variations on the theme before involving motorcycles and cars. Cuba has become for mechanicals what New Zealand was for evolution. Just isolate and make due long enough and see what comes out of it!

I guess its one of our many UTMC inside jokes, but yes. Since 'bike' is a good and useful term for motorbikes, motor scooters, and pedal bikes, we use 'acoustic' to talk about the human-powered ones.

I love how nothing is wasted because almost nothing can be replaced with new. Have to rebuiild, recycle, restore. It's a value that is lost in our modern America. I too suffer from it. Makes me re-think my ways.
