Andrew 'Ninja' Lee, 48, a native of McDonald Lane off Maxfield Avenue in Kingston, is no ordinary character. Certified in Martial Arts, he believes his creative mind is just as epic.

Curious onlookers who may have seen him throughout the Corporate Area from time to time, while making his way to and from his routinely runs, may consider him, and rightfully so, as the bicycle-riding 'Jamaican Ninja'.

Lee, who had his first child last year, handmade a 'baby carriage' for his daughter to join him while on his excursion around town.

"Everywhere I go people tell mi dat is the first dem see something like this. They say it's creative!" expressed a proud Lee.

THE STAR was told that his one-year and five month-old daughter, inspired the adjustment to his 'ninja bicycle', which has garnered him added attention. The baby carriage on Lee's bicycle is equipped with its own comforter and seat belt.

Lee takes his ninja moniker very serious.

He said, "my father use to do karate and from a tender age I watch a lot of karate movies and read books and I grew in love with the practice. I am now a second-degree black-belt fighter, however, I've been dressing like this from the early '90s."

He said video footage of him called 'Ninja in Jamaica' has gone viral on YouTube.

He expressed, "I've done quite a few features on my karate, but this is the first time that my bicycle is being recognised because of the carriage. I've began training my daughter, she can do a little kick and I show her how to punch. She a tek her little time learn."
