 Cyclo Pit-stop     #6503
Humanity

At War

 


In every City,  Town,  Village,  or Hamlet,  you will find what is most often referred to as a  "Cyclo".  Most of the larger cities had thousands of them,  and they were always anxiously waiting for your business,  waiting to take you anywhere you  wanted to go.  Like Taxi Drivers in other parts of the world,  they knew all the hot spots,  and, of course,  all the not spots.  This Photo was taken in Vinh-Long,  about 60 miles south of Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City).
 Vinh-long was a bustling city (located in the province of the same name) with a huge U.S. Installation nearby. Cyclos were the main mode of transportation between the city and the U.S. installation, and, of course how we got to and from the bars. There were usually plenty of Cyclos to go around during most of the day,  except at curfew time,  when they proved to be as scarce as a horse without flies!
This particular fellow was trying desperately to repair his Cyclo just in time for the evening curfew rush!
