A study in scooters

---

Scooters and bikes come in all shapes and sizes over here. And there are many ways to ride them. Ride one alone. Ride it two up. Some even ride with the father driving, mother behind, and child in front. Some carry carts, others have enclosed carriers. There's no right or wrong when it comes to getting around.

Single rider on bike
This is the classic approach, one person, one pedal bike.

Motorized bike
This man ramped it up a step and has a motorized bicycle. It's not quite a scooter.

Scooter and face protection
This woman is riding a scooter, and has a face mask on for protection.

Fully enclosed motorcycle
The motorcycles over here aren't more than 500 cc.

Side straddle
Women passengers are most often seen side-straddling the bike, although it's most common when the woman is wearing a skirt.

Riding double
This is a common way to ride, when the passenger is perched just barely above the rear fender and can't see over the driver.

Child in front
While some folks have the same sort of child carriers we have in the US which bolt to the rear, it is just as common to see children riding in front of their mothers or fathers.
