I am English but I was raised in Beirut and Aitat. When I was a small child I learned to ride a bicycle in Sanayeh Park. When I was a young man in the early 1970s I used to ride regularly in Lebanon (I bought my French bike, an orange Gitane in Rue Patriarchat) on the roads around villages in the Chouf. Although the mountains were hard work I enjoyed it. I did try riding in Beirut in Zarif and found it very difficult. Now I ride in London every day on my way to and from work. I would love to try and ride again in Beirut one day and buy a ka’ak or man’ousheh to eat in the street before I die.

Let them fix the rules on driving to make it more civilized and then do bike routes. At the moment at person crazy enough to ride a bike on Beirut roads as a death wish
