1. wow, that's awesome
I know I can't even ride my 'empty' bike on my road because the rednecks try to kill me. I wish the U.S. was smarter.

2. Pretty amazing. I've carried some huge/awkward stuff on my 50cc. Things
like cabinets and elliptical exercise machines (assembled) and others that we bought at thrift stores, yard sales, etc.

5. Wow!
:wow: some of those were so bizarre-looking, they seemed almost photo-shopped, but apparently they're the real deal, eh?

Incredible.

9. I saw some pretty mad shit in north India
Up in rural Bengal. There seems to be no limit to what those guys can carry on a pedal rickshaw. I saw hay stacked 12ft high on a bicycle.

13. We saw incidents just like these in
Taiwan on scooters and in China on bicycles...

Propane tanks, entire families - including the family dog, pipes, groceries, you name it. It's amazing how much stuff they can carry.

I guess it just shows you do what you have to do, eh?

15. saw this kinda stuff in Vietnam
and crossing the street was just plain laughable.

Don't make any sudden moves - it fucks up the whole system. Just step out and keep going. It's incredible to see the whole crowd go around you, and many of them with big-ass loads.

16. Wow. The first thing I'm going to do is to go to Home Depot
...and buy some fucking wooden planks for the people in that first picture. Then, I'm going to buy some bungee cords and a vespa with a heavy-duty suspension, because apparently that's all I need transport the planks to whatever corner of Asia they're in.
