Overloaded

So much is delivered around China on tricycles - with the most extra ordinary loads. (Much fodder for this blog, I can tell you.) This deleivery was to a shed somewhere in Shanghai. I have no idea what is in the boxes, but they would be from a factory somewhere in Shanghai. Maybe storing for someone with a business selling these items.

It is amazing in heavy traffic with the amazing number and variety of trucks, cars etc, that these hard working men pedal their way through the myriad of vehicles in not too orderly fashion on the streets of China.

But, it is the way it is done. Of course their are trucks, but these seem to take much larger loads and on longer distances. It must be an effician way to deliver such items. In China.

Carts and more carts

These guys are amazing. This photo shows some sitting at a street corner with their three wheeled vehicles. If someone needs transport for a large or heavy items - these are the guys that will happily do it. For a fee of course. This is their living - their income.

They wait in strategic places for a call to go and collect and deliver. There are amazing loads put on these carts.

One I saw was carrying office equipment - desks and chairs, and a man was sitting on one of the chairs as the driver hurtled through the traffic.
