Long-distance taxis were always up for a race. Many grandmas perched on the back seat would urge their chauffeurs to “go faster” and “beat the Mzungus on fancy bikes!”

As they neared their destination, the sprint would begin. After passing us, the chauffeur would break into a grin. He was at the helm of a much heavier two-wheeler, but he still managed to win!
