  1. This is not recumbent cycling, but it is cycling.   I have long lurked here
    and thought of you when I encountered this.

    A friend of mine is teaching EFL in Lanzhou, and knowing of my interest in
    cycling, he told me some of the wierd things he has seen carried on
    bicycles.  I asked for pictures and he has put some on a web site he is
    building at
    http://www.eflbaily.com/BikeThumbs.htm
    More are promised, in particular the 'water cooler guy'.   I quote from
    Pip's original missive:

    How many washing machines can you get on a two wheel push bike?

    I just saw one with 4 on!!! And I didn't have a camera!
    No-one riding it though - not quite enough room

    Preceding this bike was another with a tall fridge freezer on.
    No-one riding this either - too lop-sided. It would have been amusing to see
    him try

    Other things seen on bikes.

    3 dead pigs and a rider.

    15 large plastic bread tray type things, all full, and a rider.

    3 large water cooler refill bottles. I can't even lift one ! (This is really
    funny. There is a man on the simplest form of transport delivering spring
    water to all and sundry to put in thier status symbol water coolers. Then he
    gets out a very sophisticated cell phone to find out where to pedal his next
    order to.)

    Innumerable empty beer bottles

    Vast bundles of dry noodles, which surround the driver like a cacoon.
