Groceries Pillion



I wonder what the story behind this is- did he carry her all the way to the store and back? Did they meet somewhere and he offered a lift?    She's sitting so nonchalantly, ankles crossed demurely.


Sorry for the lousy picture- I was hustling to pull even with them on the other side of the street and two moving objects and low light were too much for my autofocus.

  1. I admire your presence of mind to see the shot while it it still was available and actually capture it. It's the thought that counts, though we might have to cut your blogger salary a little.

  2. This is awesome! So much fun to see people who are that comfortable - as you said, nonchalant - with bikes.

  4. that style of "hitching a ride with a friend" is pretty common in amsterdam, and they do it with the same apparent ease as demonstrated in your photo... maybe the tag-along friend is from the netherlands?
