Riding a sidecar on THE Road of Death (Yungas Road), Bolivia
Here I was - in La Paz - getting ready to ride the world's most dangerous road. How did I manage with my sidecar?
Hello Nightshift. Honestly I think the so called road of death is safer as the traffic in La Paz city. Since the built of the highway, the old south Yungas road has converted to a tourist attraction. The traffic is only one way on the really bad 20km and the traffic I have experienced consisted of crazy bicyclists (mostly gringos), their support vehicle and one ambulance which was waiting there :) The trampoline of death in Colombia (remember ignorance is bliss!) was more real because there was "life" traffic. And yes, one thing more done in my "bucket list" :D
Yes, you made it......but is it really worth risking life just for fun? Or did you have to scratch another score in your colt?
