The second major bike problem in just one week, and it's seriously not my fault, I know how to ride and take care of the bike. By some amazing luck, literally 2 minutes after I stopped, snapped this photo, and started to remove my back tire, a 4x4 carrying some Spanish tourists back from Dindefelo stopped. Before I could even finish introducing myself, the Senegalese driver and his buddy were already loading my bike onto the roof. Thank god for Spanish tourists and nice helpful Senegalese drivers. Made it back to the regional house in Kedougou, but since the bike is so badly damaged and we don’t have the part, I have to use a spare bike. Oh well. This weekend I’m off to Tambacounda for Tambaween/Hallowcunda!

another one bikes the dust
Ok, that title was lame but I was trying to come up with something funny considering what happened yesterday on my way back into Kedougou.

I looked back and this is what I saw…
