    I reckon they're fully adjustable to a "down" position, enabling the pillion to do the steering

    I think if you look at the bike behind him in the picture, it's laden with textiles. They pile them up and go to market and then at the end of the day, they have to ride home. It's a truck. I tried to find a picture but couldn't. I have seen one before though.

    I thought most states outlawed them years ago. The hand grips could be no higher than shoulder height. Did we regress?

    I could be wrong... but that might not be a bike that's being ridden in the U.S.
