I did, in fact I grew up in a Southeast Asian country where the primary mode of transport are scooters. From a young age I learned how to tuck myself in the "well" of a Vespa between my father and the handlebars so we can get from place to place. It was scary then, it's still scary now. We didn't do it because it was safe or comfortable, we did it because cars were unaffordable, parking even more so, and you still had to get places. Everyone knows someone who got into a motorbike accident, everyone knows someone who got injured this way. It is a transport mode of necessity, not something to be celebrated. It is also one of many reasons my family ultimately emigrated to the West.
