Biking for fun

Most people I see on a bicycle are riding to work. They seem to enjoy seeing a Ferengi (white foreigner) out there at sunrise who has the luxury of riding a new bike for fun exercise. The first time I passed a guy, he soon passed me back. I caught up with him and we paced each other for a kilometer. He yelled "Thank you!" when we finally went our separate ways. A bit of fun for both of us.
But these guys really are racing, right outside my residence. You can see how they block off the road here, more often for a football (soccer) match than a bike race. You can also see some of the different donkey carts I encounter on my own rides and the balcony I eat my breakfast of champions on.
