An Indonesian man rides a three-wheeled pedicab Wednesday with a fiberglass statue of U.S. President Barack Obama flashing a peace sign, on a street during an art festival in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Syahnur added bandages after the statue sustained some damage after falling from the pedicab in a similar event last week.
