Man, I surprised you stayed awake after that drink! That is an herbal formula for helping people with sleeping problems.

I really should have come to you when I was researching this. I didn’t realize that your Dad was such a Marley historian. If there’s anyone I know who can relate to what Bob would have experienced riding the roads of Jamaica….it’s you.

I received an e-mail today from one of our Loving the Bike Readers, Michael Krause, and he told me that there is a picture of Bob Marley riding a bike in the book “Exodus-Exile 1977″ edited by Richard Williams. It’s located on page 55 and I’ve asked him to send it to me.

Through the power of blogging and social media, I was able to find my answer in less than a day. Thank you, Michael.

Soooo I asked my Dad (he taught me a lot about Bob and the culture of the Ratas when I was a kid) and he’s confident that since poverty was rampant and Bob lived for a while as an “outlaw” it’s more likely than not that he rode… I gotta say I agree with my dad – cause back home (a decade ago and earlier) it was just the thing to do.

I’ve ridden a lot of roads in the Caribbean and I agree that back in the days of Bob the Jamaican roads were probably not all that great. I sure would have loved to ride with him.

Yeah, Myron did a great job with that photo. I wish I had a real one of him riding, but even the Marley family doesn’t seem to have one.

Awesome picture of Bob and the bike! I really hope you get an answer one day….I don’t know for sure, but I would guess that yes, he road a bike. I can picture him on cruiser in Jamaica.
Great post!
