What do you call the person sitting behind the driver on a bike?

Solution 1:

Pillion is the right word for the person too. Source Wikipedia

A passenger in this seat is said to "ride pillion" or may themselves be referred to as a "pillion".

Or you can say 'pillion rider' as in these news articles.

Solution 2:

If you're in casual conversation, you can just call them the person in back, but if you need to be technical, they can be called the

stoker, navigator, tailgunner or rear admiral.

Those words are fantastic, IMHO, but they are esoteric to most casual bike riders. Best to stick with "front/rear rider" or "person in front/back".

Solution 3:

If the motorcycle passenger is a girl, you might consider back warmer

back warmer: a girl on the back of your motorcycle

Solution 4:

I call that person the passenger. "bicycle passenger" gets 28 million hits on Google, "bicycle pillion" gets 370 thousand.
