When I look at these photos, I recognize of course the great risks involved and the sometimes disastrous consequences.

 

But I look at them with great love, as I see them manage cheerfully with the deal that life has handed out to them.

Obvious question: When a motorcycle is the best anyone (but not everyone) can afford, how are you supposed to get around?

Wearing helmets, both rides, and no more riders.

A few years ago there was a program on TV about one of these Chinese rescue members who visited the parents from boys, mostly under 16 years old, and showed the results from a motorcycle accident.

Most of these boys were left disabled and many of them had brain damage.

Was a good deterrent for this behaviour.
