Parked at the bicycle rack at H.E.B., Central Blvd, was the pink bicycle pictured to the left, attached to a wooden cart, carrying landscaping hand tools, a gasoline container and water jug.
While academics wax eloquently about the entrepreneurial spirit, men all over this town are cutting grass, trimming bushes and tree limbs, gathering cardboard and iron for recycling, just so they and any dependents can live and eat.
While official recycling programs have consistently flopped in the city, unofficial, unassuming men, riding triciclos, comb every alley in Brownsville for cardboard, iron and aluminum.
Last week we observed a cyclist hauling metal to Wilkerson's Salvage on 14th Street, but I was too slow pulling my phone out of my pocket to get a picture.
In West Brownsville, a hardworking man regularly tows a push mower behind his bicycle with a weed eater tied with rope to the bike's frame.
Trump has no idea about these workers, not included in the monthly employment figures he brags about.

Bicycle World sells those tricycles for thousands of dollars. Who in their right mind would pay that much for an elotero cart? Only Rose Gowen. Not a single one of those productive men will ever use her bike lanes.
ReplyDeleteTriciclos are around $300 USD in Matamoros.
ReplyDeleteWe got one for $200 at walmart, you can find them for less at the pawn shops sometimes. Also I have seen them on the bike lanes. What a dumb first comment. Of course they share the bike lanes like everyone else, so as not to get hit from behind by a car.
