Cargo bikes in Recife. These bicycles carry all kinds of products. They moves the small business but the drivers hates them. Indeed, here, drivers hates all bicycles and pedestrians, drivers are wilds in Recife. Miseducation, of course.

Neither seems Recife

This picture is a illusion. The angle of the photo shows a quiet square, but this place is in the middle of very busy streets. This is the Maciel Pinheiro Square, in downtown.

.

Beauty or not

.

I was walking in downtown when I saw this abandoned building. The people uses its walls like a mural. It is responsibility of the governments to solve the problem of buildings like this. But, here, the governments don't moves themselves.

Recife has very few cycleways. The major does not work for people. This is a cycleway in a rich neighborhood of the town. In poor neighborhoods, cycleways does not exist.

In Brazil, only the poor inhabbitants uses bicycles for transportation. These bikes belongs to car washers, like that in background. We are wild and miseducated people, imho.
