The ‘other’ bikes of Syros

Having mentioned the top-end bikes we came across on the Cyclades island of Syros, one mustn’t think that all the island was the same…. err, nope, there was a fair amount of lower-end two-wheeled trash too, which I must admit I love just as much as the Italian bred race machines previously featured. This one looks about the standard working order we find back home in Türkiye…

Note the common theme of ‘optional’ working lights?

But here’s one for my next project perhaps? Dunno if it will carry as much as my trusty old tractor/car, but could be fun all the same!

My personal favourite in the next image took me back many years. These were known as Monkey-bikes back in the 70’s in the UK – not seen one for years, but I guess it’s a Greek thing. Love ’em! Wish we had them in Türkiye!!
