Cafes and Bikes in Madrid




We love the cafe scene with all of the motorbikes and scooters.  Shanna made the comment that she's glad she already has a vespa or she would be so jealous.  Motorcycles and scooters park on the sidewalk.  There were very few bicycles and I didn't see any single speed bikes.  The motorbike culture extends to fashion as well.  There were a lot of leather motorcycle jackets, but we also saw plenty of businessmen in suits riding scooters. I only saw a handful of cruiser style bikes and maybe a few Harleys.  There were plenty of BMW, Ducati, Honda, and Suzuki bike.  Mostly Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilla, and BMW scooters.
