The Israeli bike blog Bikelog has a great photo post on bicycles on the kibbutz.
I’ve spend few days in the Kibbutz Ashdot Ya’acov Ichud, located in Jordan Valley, 5 km from the Sea of Galilee. I’ve discovered a wonderful world of bicycles that is very typical to Kibbutz. Most of the bicycles are dated from 60’s and 70’s by local Israeli manufacturers (HOC, DAHAR, ICM) because kibbutz was obligated to buy only local products.
Meanwhile the Peruvian Brazilian blog Panoptico has a photo post about the utility tricycles of the city of Puno, on the shores of Lake (say it with me now) Titicaca.
I love these little slices of velo-centric life from around the world. And the fact that other travelers see the world through velo-centric eyes!

Hi Tom, are you fine?
At first, thanks for support my job (my english is so bad, but it´s good for me to keep writing). Since you add me in your flickr I´ve been reading bikejuju. You have a lot of contents there! Its always a pleasure talking about bicycle and art, it will be a pleasure to answer your short interview.
See you!
this is awesome, thanks for the recent international posts. as always very inspiring.
I love that last shot of the woman and her produce. It has always fascinated me to hear their stories and talk to them about their businesses on wheels.
thanks and ride on <3

I, too, love seeing photos of bikes from around the world. I also get a kick out of saying Lake Titicaca!
Here’s an image of my friend Dan’s father-in-law’s bike (from Cochabamba, Bolivia):
