Man carrying a bicycle on the back of his scooter - from the Exhibit "A View of Two Countries with One Pair of Eyes"

It is not unusual for people in Taiwan to carry anything they can on the back of their scooter. This picture was taken in Erjie, Yilan County, Taiwan in the fall of 2004. I've seen people carry a full size door put across the well of the scooter. I watched a man try to figure out how to carry a large bookcase on his scooter. After about 15 minutes the owner of the store must of taken sympathy on the purchaser and came out with some plastic rope like material to help him tie it to the back of the his scooter.
