I've been wanting to post some pictures like that when I traveled to Asia, but not to make fun though.

Another family of 5 on those little moped: I've seen the mother hold the baby sideway while he sleeps, the little brother sandwiched b/t the parents and a little girl stand in the front of the dad.

Those images always remind me to never b#$ch and complain about having a rear cramped back seat

The picture was taken in Taiwan, where I came from. But yeah, I posted this seriously to remind those of us who live in America of how lucky we are.

yep, I realize it is in Taiwan too, pretty common there, but they do have law enforcement for helmets and limit people on the scooter.
they are taking a chance for getting a ticket tho.
hell, I could even ride a scooter there since I don't have the driver's license!

I've seen a few of these Taiwan motorcycle family photos, in one of them a footstool was used as a carseat.

However in Taiwan usually that's not the case, one person per bike is what I've seen.

This is how people drive their kids in Vietnam too
Although, the government recently restricted it to 3/motocycle
And you are not required to wear a helmet unless you are on a highway...with crazy truck drivers.

Best one I saw was in China, around the Xian area.

An old guy was riding a bicycle - carrying two live goats!
