restaurant and bar in Casco Antiguo included . Eventually , Emma and Ralph plan to develop this day ’ s tour of the Coastal Ribbon area and make it a family trip .
The seats of the Rum ’ ba Bike are made of iron , wood , and steel . They measure almost two meters high and approximately one and a half meters wide inside . The seats also have seat belts , as well as special places for people who cannot or wish to pedal due to a medical condition .
Before leaving , the public travelling on the Rum ’ ba Bike will be notified on the behavior they must keep on board , as well as the safety rules to be adopted , such as not smoking , not throwing rubbish in the street or expressing themselves with obscene words during the journey .
The name Rum ’ ba Bike is due to the fact that “ we wanted to mix Spanish and English so that both nationals and foreigners could understand it ”, Emma Cornejo says .
Several countries in the world have adopted this type of eco-friendly activities . Since Panama didn ’ t have these alternatives for entertainment , Ralph and Emma decided to bring it to the country and innovate .
For a booking on the Rum ’ ba Bike , you can visit the website www . rumbabike . com and buy online , at the starting point ( Plaza de Francia ) or by calling 6090 0010 , subject to availability .
