Bikes of Burden
Bikes of Burden

Photographic journey of Vietnam's vibrant motorbike culture.

If you're passionate about culture and the bustling energy that defines it, "Bikes of Burden" will take you on a visual odyssey through the streets of Vietnam. Hans Kemp captures with his lens a world where motorbikes are more than just transport; they're lifelines of an entire economy. The colors, the balances of improbable loads, and the faces of determination - it’s all a testament to human ingenuity and persistence. This book isn't just for motorbike enthusiasts; it's for anyone who appreciates the extraordinary in everyday life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

In Vietnam, the motorbike is the main mode of transport, not only for people but for every imaginable and unimaginable product and produce. Without the motorbike, the economy would come to a halt. Bikes of Burden shows in 148 stunning, full-color photographs how the motorbikes, the drivers, and their loads ride around the cities and countryside in acts that defy your wildest imagination.
