Tuvalu by Bicycle

I borrowed a rusty old bicycle with no brakes, and trundled my way around Fongafale Island for a day.  Having no brakes was not a problem, because there are no hills and stopping is easily achieved by putting your foot down.  I soon discovered that everyone else rides around on motorbikes and scooters – after all, the weather is hot and cycling is hard work.  I took a series of (sometimes a bit wobbly) videos that show the scenes as I rode around the streets.

Cycling across the narrowest point of Fongafale Island on Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu – the ocean on one side and the lagoon only metres away on the other.
