I ride a bicycle and motorcycle on the mainland (la Ceiba) a lot.
You have to be willing to give up your right-of-way to any car
anytime. And they will be cursing you for being in their way. I find
though that once I'm out of the congested traffic areas it's much more
safe and you can see much more of the scenery. If your riding in a
taxi you basically go to your destination, no wandering. Also, take
the side streets as much as possible, not the main road with all the
cars, more to see anyway. And wear your helmet. Also be careful when
the taxis come from a side street because they always pull halfway out
into the cross street before they stop, if they stop, and will pull
out in front of you like you don't exist.
Sometimes when they do something really stupid I "accidently" crash
into them and try to dent them hard.
Have fun.
