Motorbikes in Vietnam

Motorbikes, scooters and motorcycles are a way of life in Vietnam. In 2009 there were 3 1/2 million in Saigon alone. Now, only four years later, there are approximately 5 1/2 millon in a city with a population of 8 million.This photo essay speaks for itself. There will be many photographs and only occasional words.



 










Families depend on motorbikes.  Legally, only 3 people may ride on one.








There is a new style of motorcycle boots in Saigon.








Motorbikes have many uses.  The Vietnamese riders are extremely creative.
