Oyugis Transportation

Quite a number of the roads in the Oyugis area are impassable by motor vehicle. This is sometimes because harsh weather conditions make them impassable to even the most rugged of vehicles. In many cases it is because the road is simply too narrow to accomodate anything of significant size. In other cases, there are various other reasons why this would be a preferred or necessary option.

It is more economical than driving, and in fact sometimes faster than driving, and certainly faster than walking.

Negotiate with the "driver" first before using, just as is necessary anywhere else in Kenya.

Bicycles all over Kenya are used to transport an astonishing variety of articles, including some things that are extremely heavy (water barrels filled with water from the nearest drinkable source, for example) so moving people is just the beginning of the skills and strength involved in this form of transportation.
