Two wheels, a frame, and a seat. The bicycle is an essential tool for getting around almost everywhere. While the basic design is universal, people from around the world have put their own spin on the bicycles they use to get from A to B and haul goods.
From the Prime Minister's residence in London to Burundi, to the streets of Havana, here's a look at bikes and their riders from the past month.
A Burundian bicycle transporter in Bujumbura hangs onto the back of a motorcycle to take an almost effortless ride up the mountain on May 15, 2010. Hundreds of Burundians make a living by transporting goods and people to Burundi's capital Bujumbura from the surrounding hills around the capital. The bicycle transporters carry their loads for dozens of kilometers in the hope of selling their products at markets in the city for a profit. The bikers make on a good day anywhere from 3,000-5,000 Burundian francs (less than 2 to 4 US dollars). Nearly 70 percent of the population lives under the poverty line (1.25 US dollars a day), 90 percent depends on subsistence farming and only two percent have access to electricity.
