I used to do about 300miles a month on a GT chucker in London and its a fantastic way to get around. I’ve seriously been considering cycling here as a viable alternative to the drive since this city is now literally becoming a parking lot but safety is an Issue. It would be nice to have a cycling community here and raise the consciousness, people need to be aware of the health and Ecological benefits of cycling. Just because our purchasing power is getting higher doesn’t mean all these 4x4’s need to be everywhere on road...i’ll be the cycling guy in a green Hi-Vis top and red helmet on a road near you and do please recommend me a lighter, sturdy bike. Chuckers weigh a ton.Thanks for sharing Tolu. Cheers! Good Job Sir, amazing photos of the road less travelled in Lagos and that is certainly a lovely bike.

I think you should expand your cycling expedition across the globe then write a travelling book- why not it would make one excellent adventure my friend!

The photos provide great context for the story. My compliments on the bike as well. "Striking" is a great way to put it. Thanks for the great post. The photos provide great context for the story.
