I think he has sold that one, Robert…
The rest of the photos in the link are pretty good too. I will never think about tyre deliveries in quite the same way!
Best wishes, Pete.

I’m reading an amazing book on China at the moment (the Kingdom of Women, review will follow in due course). Thanks for sharing this awesome finding. Ingenuity at its best (I can hardly pack a suitcase!) Thanks, Pete!

I shared this on Facebook and Twitter. The photos are amazing! How in the world can all that weight be moved by simply pedaling? I agree with others here that it would be interesting to see a video where they load and unload the cargo.

It amazes me how it all stays up when they go along the road, Ron. Ingenuity and necessity have led to those people becoming very adept at this particular skill.

I saw some impressive heavily-laden bicycles when I visited Beijing, but nothing up to these standards. I doubt your Ridgeline could take such loads!
