Typical Overloaded Bikes On A City Street In China

In China, bikes are everywhere! In cities too large and congested to get everything where it needs to go in transit vans or HGVs, bikes are the main means of transport. From tires to rubbish, nothing is too heavy or too big to fit on a bike, you just need the right amount of rope. I’ve seen numerous photo series of heavy bike loads before but this series from Alain Delorme certainly takes the cake. I’d go as far as to say that I sorta don’t even believe these are real because they are so unbelievable but I’m willing to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy them for what they are – compelling images.
