hybrid bike

it went like this:

cool bicycle (using the formal arabic word for bicycle)

huh?

your bike, it’s cool. what is it called?

cycle. it’s called cycle (the name for bicycle in omani arabic)

it’s cool

thanks

how did you make it?

well, i took a big new cycle, then changed the front so it would be smaller

yeah

then i got iron added (a strip of iron wrapped around the back tire which makes an awesome noise when you drift the bike), then i painted it white, then i changed the colour and then i changed the handle bars

cool. i’ve never seen a cycle like this in all my life. it’s the coolest cycle ever

yeah (lit. ‘normal, normal’)

he rides off - almost hitting another cyclist - and drifts around the corner…

watch out!

yeah ('normal, normal’)
