The Indonesians are an ingenious people when it comes to the humble motorbike and put it to a wide range of uses. In a country where there is high levels of poverty a car is beyond many, so motorbikes double as cars, vans and pick up trucks.
On one bike we've seen, in order of difficulty or pure ridiculousness:
- A famiky of four.
- Young child asleep on the handlebars.
- Lady using her iPads as she sat on the back
- Bamboo cage panniers full of chickens.
- Three very large sacks of rice.
- A supermarket of shelves loaded drinks and sacks.
- A table.
- Very large quantity of office water cooler bottles, plus a dozen gas bottles.
- A complete glass fronted mobile kitchen.
- Ten bales of hay.
- A complete wooden bed frame.
