I would like to think that my bicycle commuting inspires or assists others to make the change. I see some fellow workers have made the change but this is the first time someone more casual has made the change. The bike on the right if of a "new" bicycle commuter.
Some interesting points:
1. I would not have realised I had influence on this except the newbie started parking in MY spot. It is a good spot as a tree blocks cars from this space.
2. This was a guy who sends electronic money through the phone. One day he asked about how to get a bicycle and i referred him to Arusha bicycle Center .
3. He mentioned it one day but it didn't sink in that he bought a bike and uses it.
4. Wow. He bought a "real world" bicycle. Stock made. Fenders, racks, lights , dynamo. It is a bike that is useful, not a toy racing bike that does not serve the purpose for transportation.
Am very honored and inspired more and more this is a huge step I saw him this morning 13/8/2016,riding on California hydraulic disk brake cross bike along kijenge and I look closely as he rode it and I knew he got it from Arusha bicycle center. The idea is to impose cycling culture to Arusha and Tanzania at large slowly we will get there. Even I this is something I learned and it becomes addiction. Sometimes I get thirsty of pedaling like normal thirsty for water as they said "bike to live to bike"
