Mad Max and other tuned motorcycle taxi drivers from Nairobi
Categories: Africa | Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/mad-max-and-other-tuned-motorcycle-taxi-drivers-from-nairobi.htmlMotorcycle taxi drivers in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, carefully tune their "iron horses" to attract customers and ride them in special costumes in the style of popular characters, movies and superheroes.
Dutch photographer Jan Hoek captured these vivid characters of the streets of the Kenyan capital in his series of photographs Boda Boda Madness ("The madness of motorcyclists").
Thanks to the new equipment, motorcycle taxi drivers have increased their incomes, so they actively use their costumes. And if you suddenly find yourself in Nairobi, perhaps one of them will become your taxi driver.
