Human-powered transport


Most people know that bicycles are common in China (even if cars are becoming more and more common all the time). So, I wasn't surprised to see lots of bicycles in the streets when we first arrived here.

What does continue to surprise and delight me are the many ways that people here use bicycles to transport anything and everything. Here, two fellows move a couch. I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos, but the guy in the rear was highly amused that two laowai were photographing their efforts. He kept smiling and mugging for the camera.
