| Dateline 2004. Ho Chi Minh City is definately a city of motorcyclist. It is the most common form transportation for the masses. I understand from a local friend that there are 2.5 million motorcyclist in this city of 7.0 million. I do not have the official statistics but I would believe bikes outnumber car by at least 100:1. The scenario is however fast changing. A friend informed me that 5 years ago the bicycle to motorcycle ratio was 100:1 with hardly any cars on the road. Well, this is a vibrant city and with its growing affluence, more cars will be put on the streets of Ho Chi Mihn. My guess would be in 5 years the residents of this Great City will experience what we all dread.... Traffic Jams. |
| Beautiful tree line roads, with very little congestion |
| Motorcycles everywhere, trishaws as well. |
| Motorcyclist here do not need to wear helmets. |
| After wandering around for a while, I was wondering if there were any big capacity bikes here. Then I stumbeled upon the Big Bikers of Ho Chi Mihn City. They were at the starting point of a bicycle race. They were congregated there to Flag Off, Escort and I guess to add to the fun of the event. |
| The Big Bikes all parked in a row. The members all wore a standard blue outfit. |
