Sweet Senior,
there's a romance named "a moreninha" (the little brunette) that was written around the 19th century and takes place in this island, so I believe they wanted to preserve the way people commuted then. Besides bikes, people move around in horses and chariots, except the local ambulance and firefighters. It's a calm and beautiful place!

I have found something new today. One of the best thing about this app is history questions, you can look back to your answers and information after you finished the levels.
