Multiple Riders on One Bicycle


Below are some of the people I saw with multiple riders on one bicycle all during the one 73 minute period I stood in one spot taking pictures.  The first one shows a common "3 person bicycle rig" I saw a lot.  You'll notice the kid in back is just sitting on the bicycle freight rack, feet dangling and looking bored.  Also looking bored is the kid in the suicide position in front of the bicycle.  Mom of course is wearing a stunning white dress (see "Nicely Dressed" above) and lipstick and has a nice purse over her shoulder, and *NONE* of them are wearing bicycle helmets.  

Again, standard suicide position child in front, this bicycle looks like in a pinch it could carry 4 passengers, or maybe 5 based on what I saw later.

These two bicycles are carrying a total of 5 people, and they are clearly a nice Amsterdam family.  If you look closely at the front bicycle, the smallest child in the family is riding side saddle with her butt on the bicycle's metal frame and yet the child is wearing an enormous smile.  The back wheel of the front bike shows almost completely flat, probably because the bicycle is carrying somewhere in the 350 - 400 pound range. The back passenger is just sitting on the back luggage rack feet hovering in air.
