Unquestionably, motorbikes are most common and the most convenient transport options in Bali. Everyone rides motorbikes. At first I was quite sceptical about it and in horror watched 5-people family (that’s right!) on one motorbike. I soon discovered that what seemed unusual to me was perfectly normal for the Balinese. As one of the expats living here said: Balinese people are very creative in terms of what can be taken onto the bike. When they figure out how they can take a pig onto the bike they soon discover that they might as well take two. I have seen many things being carried on bikes: from TV, other bikes, sacks of rice, hundreds of eggs, live animals not to mention whole families and very popular here sale representatives. When I thought nothing would surprise me anymore I see a new ‘idea’ on bike. Very entertaining I must say. When short distances are concerned things are being carried on women’s heads. Again, huge creativity in what and how to carry on one’s head-sometimes stones that must weigh at least 40kg (!).
Anyway, riding motorbike is fun. Below you’ll find several photos-most of them taken from the bikeJ or from the car. These are just few examples of what can be seen on the roads of Bali.
