I just uploaded more pictures of Chinese bikes and trikes to my Flickr account. If you are not interested in weeding through my other photos of China, click on the bikes set to the left. I love seeing utilitarian cargo bikes like these when I visit China. Unfortunately, I realize that everyday many of these bikes and trikes are being replaced (or displaced) by cars and trucks. The growing number of automobiles on the road makes daily life increasingly dangerous for these riders and the situation will only get worse as car ownership increases exponentially. I will refrain from rambling on about my thoughts on the state of cycling in China. Perhaps those ideas are better saved for another post (or maybe not).
While on the subject of China, check out the story of the Bicycling Barber of Beijing. Great story. I found it via the Cycling Dude.
