Welcome back.....
So fantastic you grabbed your fear and gave it a good shaking and you didn't allow it to prevent you from sucha fabulous experience.
While I don't wish you more feelings like those you experienced on the flight, I wish you the same bravery should another travel opportunity present itself.
So... you did ride on those 90' cobblestone streets? I assume you hired something?
And as for those boys riding without seats... it reminds me of the Tour of the Bay fun-ride a couple of year back. One of the riders doing the 100km (the fun ride, not the open) had his seat break off half way through - but he completed without the seat - standing most of the way and resting his but on the bar occasionally... amazing effort to me as at that time I had just completed the 10km with my sons and had doubted I could ride that far - let alone stand while riding!

Post pics if and when you can. Yes, it takes leaving the country to realise just how rude Americans can indeed be.
Thank goodness not everyone is rude.
