Sometimes the easiest way to get somewhere is on the back of a bike.

More and more people are using cars in many places in Africa today. However, things are different in Malawi(馬拉維). Bikes are the most popular in this African country.

Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi. People use them to carry(搬運) heavy things. They also use bikes to carry people, especially visitors. These years, taking a “ bike taxi” to go around Malawi has become quite popular for visitors from all over the world.

If you go to Malawi, you will find a lot of bike taxis waiting on the sides of the roads. The riders make the bikes comfortable for passengers (乘客) to sit on. You can jump on a bike taxi and get around at a very good price.

Alice is a 21-year-old student from Canada. She enjoys the special bike riding a lot. “I really like the bike taxi,” she says. “It’s easy and cheap.” Alice usually pays just $1 for going shopping in town.

28-year-old Panjira Khombe began to ride a bike taxi two years ago. The young man enjoys this job. “I used to （過去常常） make boats for a living, but that’s a hard job. Being a bike taxi rider is easy for me and I don’t mind carrying heavy people,” he says.
