Partner wants to bicycle the empty loop at 9.55 - allowed or the tourist everyone hates on a religious street
Hotel has two rental bikes. Street looks quiet enough that he thinks it is a velodrome. DIG banned loud horns and lasers. Is a bicycle on leftover Dalada at 9.55 a police problem or just rude.

It is a religious precinct an hour after the casket went in, not a bike path. Husks, leftover chairs, maybe a jeep. Rude, and a good way to hit a devotee. Leave the bikes. Walk inland if you must move.
If a uniform is still there, you will be turned around. Extra Tourist Police are still in the season plan. Empty is not a circuit.
We saw one bicycle get shouted off Raja Veediya last night. Walked. Correct.
Scam Watch: kandy
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
