Bicycling Parasol Girls, Luang Prabang, Laos     

As with the prior image of a military pollce riding his motorbike one handed with parasol in the other, so do these ladies here travel on bicycle. His motor-biking version probably evolved from prior parasol use on bicycles before motorbikes became ubiquitous as they are as they are in present day Laos. With the easy going pace of life here, and the most basic economies and dependability that are part of bicycling, it is still a major transportation form in present day Laos as it is throughout SE Asia.
