How interesting..big contrast to North Korea. Somehow it isn't surprising that there would be a tendency for the local women there to want support and companionship by cycling with others. Maybe mountain bikes feel sturdier to them with wider tires and put them slightly more upright. Good to hear. Thanks so much for your commentary from far away. And welcome to TE!
