One thing that has been driving me crazy on the bike internet is peopl

Bicycles are by far the most common form of transportation in Zanzibar. In my opinion they are ideal for the Stone Town and beaches. Vast majority of them are very old and heavily used. They are constantly repaired but never quite dead.
