View south down Donhwamun-ro
Caption / Description:

A motorbike with trailer attached is parked on Donhwamun-ro (돈화문로) in Chodong (초동), Jung-gu (중구), Seoul (서울).

Modified motorbikes and trikes with trailers attached on the back are common in Seoul, being used to ship various goods across the city. The narrow profile of a bike with trailer as opposed to a small van, and the fact they can be ridden along pavements, makes them the perfect delivery vehicle for traversing the city of Seoul. This bike is currently just loaded with a few old cardboard boxes.

The city streets are deserted (except for a Mauser) as it is National Foundation Day (개천절 - Gae-cheon-jeol), a national holiday in Korea.
