Motorcycle 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").
