I am not too happy with this meeting of minds! I was jubilating over the use of the word "darreja" for the event I blogged about previously... With its double meaning of "bicycle it" and "make it fashionable"... It turns out a group has been using it for at least six months earlier in Tripoli - and theirs is even better - because "baskle" is the Arabic slangish name of a bicycle and "eskleh" is the Mina part of Tripoli.... Sorry guys, you ought to have done a better research prior to releasing it. Thanks Farah for pointing it out and providing the material.

They even use the same bicycle icon... hmm. At least the first version the bicycle isn't squashed.
It probably isn't a rip-off but when so many elements align like that, you have to wonder.
i will "dareja baskaleh" to avoid hurting any ones feelings :)
