Photo of the Day (02.20.10)
Carpooling is a great way to get to know your coworkers, save money and help the environment. A common concern amongst people who ride-share is that they hate being cramped in the car. Sure, the lack of legroom and sheer number of elbows poking your torso can make for an aggravating commute. But the next time you want to gripe about how uncomfortable your ride to work is, consider this Indian quartet that was immortalized by Flickr user jrodmanjr. Still think it's rough packing into Steve from Accounting's Mini Cooper? By no means are these four intrepid cyclists unique. During my time in India, I saw countless iterations of creative motorcycle mounting. Each time I was floored by the bravery of these seemingly calm (and always helmet-less) commuters.

Love this, alas it's a tad too comman a sight in India. Unfortunately there are severe head injuries which are caused when accidents happen.

did anyone else notice that the person in front is not the rider - he is only a passenger and that the rider is the 2nd guy (who has to peer over the 1st guys shoulders)?

Someone pointed that out to me after I took the shot in India - Couldn't believe my eyes!
