Wheels in China


China is a country on the move! With 1.3 billion people in this amazing country all sorts of modes of transport can be seen. Many of these items are hand made. So all sorts of weird and wonderful machinery on wheels can be seen.

As well, the loads that are put on these trucks, bikes, cars, carts are astounding. Workplace health and safety rules? I don't know. Road rules? Confusing.

In any case it makes for an interesting study.

This wheelbarrow appeared near the foreign teachers apartment block. Looks like something that one of the maintenance men was using. I've seen them mix cement in these type of carts. The wheels are bicycle wheels - not matching of course, but all up a very functional piece of equipment.
