Oh, here in Indonesia you can find motorcycle taxis (ojek) everywhere, including in all the towns where bicycle rickshaws / pedicabs operate.
For example, all of the markets in my town have a pangkalan ojek (motorcycle taxi stand) and a separate pangkalan becak (pedicab stand), usually near the main entrance. I prefer the pedicabs when I have luggage, since there is a nice wide bench which can carry more cargo than can fit on a motorcycle, and they are quiet and slower. But the motorcycles are faster, so if you are in a hurry or have a long trip, they are the better choice.
