自転車でベトナムのハノイでを楽しむHanoi is the capital of Vietnam, and it is a cosmopolitan city of about six million.
Much of the building stock is French colonial, especially in the neighborhoods around the Opera House and Hoan Kiem Lake.
The primary form of transportation - for now (a subway system is in the planning stages) - is a Honda motor scooter.
On almost any road there will be buses, trucks, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, cyclos, and very brave pedestrians.
Crossing the street is a dance, that both pedestrian and those on or in vehicles must learn. The speed of cars and motorbikes is not terrifying; the number of them, however, can be.
Cycling in Hanoi is primarily a work-related task.
It is primarily middle-aged women pushing or riding an old bike loaded down with something they are selling or delivering.
There are however those who appeared to be commuting, some high school students, and the odd old person out for a bike stroll.
This is not for the faint of heart.
