Give us this day our daily bread — by bike.

A bike with with a large wooden rear rack full of baguettes, delivering bread through traffic seen from behind with a blue van and minibus ahead.

A street vendor sells something I've never found in Madagascar's grocery stores: locally-made peanut butter that doesn't come in a plastic jar. Signed by the artist!

Jar of creamy peanut butter labeled "Crème d'arachide TOTOMBOANJO — Tsotra Nature," sealed with a white lid and photographed against a red-and-white checkered cloth.

My new neighborhood is a mouthful: am-BO-cha-rah-HAB-a. (Rhymes with bamboo-chuck-cassava)

There's a Thai restaurant nearby!!!

My new neighborhood is a mouthful: am-BO-cha-rah-HAB-a. (Rhymes with bamboo-chuck-cassava)

There's a Thai restaurant nearby!!!

Worn yellow-and-blue street sign mounted in front of a concrete wall reading "AMBOHITRARAHABA," with peeling paint, rusted edges, and an aged, weathered appearance.

I wondered how this person would carry the mattress by bike. Then I noticed the improvised backpack straps.

I wondered how this person would carry the mattress by bike. Then I noticed the improvised backpack straps.

Bicycle carrying a large rolled foam mattress strapped horizontally across its frame and handlebars with bright blue cords — improvised backpack straps — parked against a metal fence.

A small "startup" roadside bike shop.

A man and a child stand beside a bicycle at a small roadside bike-repair stall with tires hanging on a rusted metal post, tools and spare parts displayed, tall grass and nearby apartment buildings under a cloudy sky.

Another flat. Same day as the previous one; different mechanic.

This patch took. I made the risky move of removing the Brompton derailleur. We all watched the YouTube video together to put it back on correctly.

Street-side bicycle repair stall where men fix a purple Brompton bike amid hanging tires and spare parts in a corrugated kiosk, flanked by makeshift wooden stalls on a dusty roadside with a distant city and hills beyond.

It's nice to see kids playing with public transport toys.

Three boys on a dusty road playing with homemade toy cars made from recycled plastic containers; a grinning boy leans forward pulling a red toy on a string while two friends watch nearby.

I had a flat tire. These two guys led me to a local roadside mechanic who was asleep and taking the day off. They rousted him for me and he patched my flat.

Men with bicycles gathered on a dusty market street each with a yellow jerrycan to a bike rack. A mechanic pumps a tire. Small shops, scooters and parked cars in the background.

I should stop being surprised at how quickly new films are pirated and available for sale.

I should also examine why this doesn't bother me.

Weathered outdoor bulletin board displaying a grid of printed movie posters advertising various films (Supergirl, Spider-Man, Wildcat, Mikaela and others); pirated versions for sale.

Sometimes the roadside bike shops get their hands on some fancy gear.

This was an Italian brand. The name started with an "S."

A white road bicycle locked to a sticker-covered pole against a peeling red-and-white wall, with a shaded person and scattered tools nearby suggesting street repairs.
