In the Philippines the motorcycle is a multipurpose vehicle. It is used to transport whole families as well as deliver packages and other large objects. It is not uncommon to see a back rider holding tightly on to a gas tank. Honestly, nothing is shocking once you have been in this country long enough. But that is not to say one cannot be shocked. Here is a picture of a backrider carrying a stationery exercise bicycle!
It's a bit blurry since I took the picture with a bad camera and through the plastic window on a jeepney. But it's pretty clear what is going on here. Why not hire a tricycle to transport this exercise bike? What sense does it make to hold this unwieldily thing your lap? Absolute stupidity!
