Reverse commute in Zanzibar

This afternoon Erik and I decided to take the bikes provided by our beach resort for a spin to the local village. We set out around 4 pm in order to avoid the afternoon heat and noted as we left that this would be the beginning of the evening commute if we were back at home. I think the 4 to 4:30 time slot must also be the peak commute time in Zanzibar too because we encountered over half a dozen automobiles and a cow drawn cart on our way. Clearly we were taking the reverse commute because only one of those vehicles was going our way. On the way back about an hour later we encountered only one car.
