Dangerous Potholes

I had a motorbike taxi to and from my residence to go to the HIV Facility in Sigomere. I knew it as Sigomre, but it apparently has been spelt wrongly all over town. Forgive the confusion. Several men were my driver, Nelson, Evans, Ronny and a boy racer who I didn't book again. The roads from Ugunja to Sigomre are metalled and laterite. Potholes in the first make it extremely dangerous to any bike and dust on the second make it very dirty. When it rains, it is slippery as well.

I used to be a Hot Biker Chick in the 60's having borrowed my sister's helmet and leathers. It brought back a few memories, but with hindsight, it is still a dangerous way to travel.

You guessed it, no helmet for the passenger or any leathers. However it was the only way to get there apart from walking. Price was 100Ksh a trip for me, less for a local.

They have a taxi stand in town where all the bikers hang out waiting for fares.
