意思
Operating a bike for transport.
文化背景
In rural Tanzania, bicycles are often fitted with heavy-duty racks to carry 'mkaa' (charcoal) or large water containers. The 'Boda Boda' originated here as bicycle taxis. Even today, in some smaller towns, bicycle bodas are a cheaper alternative to motorcycles. Nairobi has a growing 'Critical Mass' movement where cyclists reclaim the streets once a month. Rwanda is famous for its professional cyclists and the 'Tour du Rwanda,' making 'kuendesha baiskeli' a source of national pride.
Verb Shortening
