Daily Ride – Adeyaka Magazine: Paris by Motorcycle

March 18, 2015March 9, 2015 / Ryder / Leave a comment

In one corner we have a motorbike taxi and in the other an Infiniti G37. The challenge is to photograph the G37 during rush hour in Paris from a moving motorbike.

Question: How can I get the job of riding pillion and shooting footage of an Infiniti driving in downtown Paris?

Bookin’ it down the road. Looks like there might be a little rain going on as well. I was lucky to have not gotten rained on, during my ride.

Daily Ride – a very slow roll through a tunnel

This is what most of us hope to avoid. On a moto taxi, it’s quicker to get through.

Daily Ride – a different kind of moto taxi

January 7, 2015December 29, 2014 / Ryder / Leave a comment

This moto taxi’s fairings practically turn it into a car of sorts. It’s like a golf cart moving very fast. With room for a mother and child…

Daily Ride – Nice ad for moto tax in Paris

January 6, 2015December 29, 2014 / Ryder / Leave a comment

This is one of the ads that got me thinking about taking a moto taxi in Paris. In the pictures it looks great. In real life (with my lack of experience riding), it was a little less serene.

Moto taxis are everywhere — especially in Asia. In fact, until I rode a moto tax in Paris, I didn’t realize there were any in the Western world. Join me for this 5 minute jaunt through Siagon, Viet Nam
