In Swedish, the pillion implicitly assumes its passengers to be female (for you non-Swedish speakers, the literal translation would be the "chick stool" or something like that). A minor thing compared to other, I agree, but ignorant and backward nonetheless. I guess it's a function of the auto motor industry in Sweden still being very non-equal in terms of gender?
Anyway. I personally prefer the pillion to being in front. Especially at the playground. It enhances the feeling of control and gives a better overview. (And no, Bebba and I didn't coordinate our clothes, but I agree that it looks that way. Couples on motorbikes tend to be dressed in the same cool outfits.)
