No matter where
in the world cyclists live they experience the same issues and
concerns. In this video from Saudi Arabia we meet two bike commuters
who face the same challenges like riding in traffic. Or co-workers
who view bike commuting as not acceptable for work. As well as the
reasons why some people turn bike commuting; avoiding traffic jams,
parking, and the cost of operating a car.
One young man
talks about how when he arrives at work he feels much more energized
and that he no longer has to park in the distant employee parking
lot. Now he parks with royalty, management. And like many established
nations obesity has become a problem in Saudi Arabia. Demonstrated
when the older cyclist in the red and white Jordanian style shemagh
visits his tailor. You can see the significant weight loss that has
occurred after he started car-light lifestyle.
While the video
is in Arabic, if you click the “cc” button on the bottom right
hand side of the Youtube screen you will be able to view English
subtitles.When you start the video the "cc" button will appear.
