		In Cuba there is practically no means of transportation supplied by the state: almost no regular local buses or taxis.
		Many people solve their transportation problems by patiently standing in a long line waiting until a man leading a horse and buggy arrives and packs them up towards their destination bumping and swinging in a slow, agonic, awful, uncomfortable, long, and expensive journey.
		Inter-province transportation has to be scheduled more than one month before traveling because of the reduced number of buses, trains, or planes; and many people have to sleep in bus terminals or get into long waiting lists to preserve their tickets.

	Green Left - Cuba's revolution in transportation
		Today Cuba's trade with these countries has been reduced to a mere 7% of what it was, and the country is making do with a little over a quarter of the total imports it used to receive.
		The fact that non-motorised transportation is being ignored by major industrialised cities and providers of aid to countries with limited fuel resources and pollution problems is a result of the influence of petroleum and car manufacturing interests.
		Nevertheless, while Cuba has been winning an international reputation as a model of a modern-day “ecotopia”, the sacrifices Cubans have had to make to adapt to the crisis cannot be overlooked.

		Bikes are used to transport goods and it's not unusual to see passengers on a bike, either on the rear rack or on the top tube--sometimes both!
		Well, I don't know if Cuba is a cycling Nirvana, but it's probably as good a facsimile of one as I'm likely to see in my lifetime, and I can tell you that the rules of the road are just as important there as they are in continental North America.
