Here you see an Iranian carting his entire family somewhere.

The world is an interesting place. The western world looks at Iran with its fundamentalist approach and wonders how anyone could live in such a strict country.

And yet, if this scene were to take place where I live, the family would be pulled over so fast, so immediately, that they probably wouldn't make it one mile.

Where I live, even a single rider isn't allowed to ride without a helmet. A lot of the bikers have made it a point to rally against this law, saying that they should be the ones to make that choice. And so, even riders who would never ride without a hat are demanding the ability to ride without one.

In Iran, that freedom is taken for granted.
