Médine Market in Bamako: Where Everything is Made and Sold

At the new Médine market in Bamako, Adama Konaté sells imported bicycles from France, the US, England, Canada, and China. But he doesn’t just sell bikes – he also repairs and assembles new bike frames.

In addition to bikes, Konaté also sells various other items, such as vehicle accessories and even some agricultural equipment that’s hard to find elsewhere on the market.
