Used bicycles from Sweden, on sale at Kaluaggala, Sri Lanka.

Driving on the highway just past Kaluaggala going towards Colombo, I spotted a container load of used bicycles. On inquiry I was told that these were for sale. Each bike would  cost Rs.900/-. These bikes had been used for hiring in Sweden.

These bicycles had the following features:-

1. No chains but a shaft driven rear wheel.

2. Wheels had solid tires - No need to have a bicycle pump.

3. A small solar panel to charge a battery to power the headlight.

 4. Hub brakes.



 It will be a rough ride on Sri Lankan village roads.
