There aren't a lot of people who own cars or trucks in Saigon, so the most popular mode of transport is riding a motorbike. And before you think a motorbike can only carry passengers (which it should by the way), the locals use them to deliver enormous loads of whatever.

Photographer Hans Kemp started documenting some of the most interesting delivery bikes. After first publishing his collection of photos in a book called Bikes of Burden in 2005, Kemp recently revisited the project and saw that the scenes hadn’t changed much over the intervening decade. Check out the photos below from Hans Kemp:
