Daughter and I rented bikes to sightsee around the island. Daughters bike was either a set up or a lemon. Didn't get very far to where the steering went out on it , and she crashed the bike into a locals garage door.. Didn't take long for the incident to become a scene.
Cops were there immediately, threatened to take our passports , huddled up with the locals and the owner of the bikes, told us we had to pay for the bent garage door and bike to make things right. $600
Going to jail was even brought up. Unreal..
Fuckn door was some old rusted out piece of metal. Bike was several years old, not in the greatest condition to begin with.
Pretty much a ransom hold up. Daughter had a bad sprained ankle with the crash. We were escorted to the bank to pay the ransom.
Once the ransom was paid off, we just wanted to get back on the ferry back to Playa. This trip was a college graduation present.
Better times in Playa, Cancun, Tulum , Cancer, Mahahul
