Cykeln

Bicycles are very important in Uppsala. They're the main way to get around the city. They're how you get to class, go grocery shopping, get your mail... There are even nice bike paths on most roads. And major intersections have a light for the cars, pedestrians, and bicycles.

When I'm biking I like to keep both hands on my handlebars (except when signalling to turn.) However, I've seen a lot of people not doing this. So I've compiled a list of interesting things I've seen other people doing while cycling. (I have no pictures of any of them because I'm almost always on my bike when I see these.)

• Smoking


• Carrying a box or bag


• Holding an umbrella


• Talking on the phone (not hands-free)


• Warming their hands in their pockets or just crossing their arms


• Texting


• Pushing a stroller


• Pushing another bike


• Taking their dog for a walk
