 this is an endearing couple, of course, but when I think about them riding like that (I mean without helmets) on those crazy Chinese streets, it makes my stomach sink. And it is actually a common occurrence over there:

I got a few similar shots in Marrakech, where there would be 2 or sometimes more, bombing around on the mopeds. Fascinating to watch.

That is scary, but good panning on your part. As far as the image, I might have cropped out those harsh golden lights in the upper left.

Lovely shot, so is your thumbnail. Like you it disturbs me to think of them riding unprotected in traffic. I wonder what their road toll is?

Love it Lev!

I get the feeling of riding on the bike with Mother and Daughter. In the UK this is is illegal so would never get a similar shot, the focus on the subjects and movement of the bike/backgound is top notch!
