Havana, Cuba - December 17, 2014: A bicycle belonging to a fisherman is leaned against a wall at the entrance to Havana Harbor in Havana, Cuba. Across the entrance is the lighthouse at Castillo de los Tres Santos Reyes Magnos del Morro.

Havana Harbor is the port of Havana, the capital of Cuba, and it is the main port in Cuba (not including Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, a territory on lease by the United States). Most vessels coming to the island make port in Havana.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, petroleum and other subsidies dried up, bringing cars and public transport grinding to a standstill across the island. During this “Special Period”, as it was called by the government, to keep Cubans moving through years of extreme austerity, Fidel imported a million Chinese bikes and kicked off an unexpected cycling boom, along with bike lanes, spare parts shops, guarded parking and neighborhood mechanics. This barely lasted a decade, as ships carrying Venezuelan petroleum sailed into Havana harbor, courtesy of late President Hugo Chávez, who also offered interest-free loans to help the Cuban economy out of crisis and traded oil for Cuban doctors. Cycling eventually fell out of favor, with subsidies and spare parts drying up. If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Cuba, see if can spot some of those Chinese bikes!
