Bicycles

The most common mode of transportation in the countryside is bicycles. In Phnom Penh, motorbikes have taken over, but there still are many bicycles. I’m not sure if I could trust my ten-year old to bicycle my two-year old around. But it is a normal occurrence here because the parents are busy working. This mother in the one picture has tied her Kramoh, Khmer scarf, on the handle bars to make a seat for her little one. More often I see the little ones sitting behind the seat holding the waist of their sibling. gail
