Things are different here....transportation

The roads here are very busy and crowded. All of the cars are very small, no mini vans or SUVs here. The cars just park wherever they want it seems. They park wherever car can fit. They even double park on the street. They leave car in neutral and the other person moves it if they need to get out. There are also a lot of Vespas y motorcycle that weave around cars in traffic and park on sidewalks.

There are also a lot of bikes in the city. Some people have bikes and others use the city bikes. You can rent bikes here! There are stations like the picture below scattered through the city. So you scan you bus pass at the kiosk at the bike station and you check out a bike. You ride it to your destination and then you can check it in at a different station. I ride a bike to school twice a week because it is just faster!

There are a lot of groups of bikers.

This is totally an okay way to park on the street.
