First time I've seen a message in Albanian to drivers asking them to give cyclists and scooter/skaters room.

"Furnitor i kujdeshëm - Jetë të shpëtuara

Furnitoret dhe drejtuesit e mjeteve të rënde
t'i mbajnë distancat me çiklistet dhe patinat"

"Careful Shipping - Lives Saved

Shipping and heavy vehicle drivers
to keep their distance from cyclists and skaters"

A possibly interesting bit of trivia is that I've seen Magnolia grandiflora, native to the US South, used as a street tree in at least a couple cities in #Albania. #UrbanForest #Botany

This one is funny by contrast because he definitely notes how many more cyclists Shkodër seems to have.

What I'd say from my two cities experience of Albania so far (haven't been to Shkodër yet) is that lots of people in Albania cycle and walk. If only because they cannot afford cars. But the infrastructure is not equally supportive in cities here.

Shkodër has a reputation among Anglophone foreigners as being the most cycle-friendly city in Albania. This fellow makes videos of cities as seen from a car windshield, and he made one of Shkodër, but he also felt he had to get out of the car and make this one of its pedestrianized and cycle-friendlier areas.

Commentary is all in Albanian.

Hiking above Saranda, a coastal town in the Albanian riviera, with the mountainous horizons in the view. Almost Greece but not yet…
