New, from the creator of Don't Eat My Buchela!
It is a new Ethio-Chinese blog called For Bike's Sake.
Here is how she describes it.
I now live in China. I don't ride a bike here yet because I am afraid one of the crazy Chinese cab drivers would run me over. So, I walk.I started this website because I am struck by how much, and in how many ways, bikes are used in this country. And because I want to pay homage to one of the most perfect human inventions.
So, in this age of global warming, here is to bicycles!
I now live in Ethiopia. I don't ride a bike here yet because I am afraid one of the crazy Ethiopian cab drivers would run me over. So, I take rides inside those crazy Ethiopian cabs. Much safer.

They are not dangerous only to bikers - they are dangerous to every body. The main reason is Addis does not have bicycle lanes.
But even in London, biking on the main road is dangerous, isn't it? Even more, the streets are narrower and people drive on the wrong lane - too confusing!
But you still can bike to Entoto . . .
