Pedal Power


It's impossible to visit China (Shanghai, Kunming, Lijiang, whereever), and not see bicycles being used for practically everything. My favorite most recently was a pressure washer sidewalk cleaner bicycle.
The photo to the left was taken in October in Lijiang (in Yunnan province), and is the classic flatbed bicycle that you see adapted so many different ways (with an arc welder, full of bootleg books, carrying 8 giant bottles of water, you name it).
