Bikes: Need to haul 12 water cooler bottles?
I see guys pedaling these water cooler bikes every day. I keep telling myself that one day, I’m going to ask if I can borrow one for a spin.The water bike guys are usually in their 30s and 40s – too old for factory jobs. Factory bosses usually only hire workers in their 20s, and job ads usually specify that applicants should be female. Men are too hard to control on the factory floor.
Ahh, my favorite part – pedals made of rebar. I found a shop that sells them and bought a few of them for gag gifts.
This rig was made by Guangzhou’s biggest bike builder, the “Wu Yang” or “Five Rams” company. The ram is the city’s improbable mascot. Legend has it that five celestial beings descended from heaven on five rams and they gave the locals stems of rice that would keep the area free from famine.
Great read, you’ve got very distinctive style. Keep up! Is it possible to subscribe to your fresh posts? I’ve tried the RSS button but I didn’t make it, maybe I did something wrong.
Some people have been able to get the RSS thing to work. I’ll have to check what’s going on. Usually, I’m so busy trying to post something everyday and upload pictures that I don’t have a chance to deal with the technical issues, which I’ve never been good at. Anyway, thanks for the kind note.
