September 17, 2010 at 14:09 |
Amazing Pictures! Are these for real? How in the world is he able to balance them?
September 17, 2010 at 14:45 |
Wow this is amazing! I wish you had a tweet button on this post.

Amazing! How do they even do that? Load & unload?
September 17, 2010 at 15:12 |
Wow!!! I am struck but the colours more than anything. How vibrant. I hope they didn’t have any sharp corners!
Thanks for sharing.

These are amazing – I love the one of the flowers. Thanks for sharing!
September 17, 2010 at 15:23 |
Fascinating pictures — I’m amazed how the cyclists can do that. Those stacks of products look precarious balanced like that, but somehow, the guys pull it off. Amazing!
September 17, 2010 at 15:33 |
imagine taking these during inception!
September 17, 2010 at 15:53 |
Amazing!

Wow, first off the photographs are beautiful. Second, I am impressed with the amount they’re fitting on their bikes! I can’t imagine someone even trying that where I live.

Really??? Those are amazing!!! you need an engineering degree to load that cargo!
September 17, 2010 at 18:08 |
Yes,these are amazing. But are they real or photoshopped. Some look almost impossible. At any rate – i loved them.
September 17, 2010 at 18:34 |
Very cool!
September 19, 2010 at 06:43 |
very very cool fotographs
September 17, 2010 at 18:49 |
WOAH! It looks absolutely amazing but photoshopped at the same time!
Is this possible?
September 17, 2010 at 18:59 |
I know it’s read, but I can’t get my mind wrapped around this. I’m just sitting here with my mouth open.
September 17, 2010 at 18:59 |
great pictures!

A “heads-up” for all local delivery companies; who says we can’t lower our our overhead??

Whether this is real or not, it got me laughing. Those bicyclists are superhumans! Hahaha! 🙂

September 17, 2010 at 20:17 |
Nice! I this is unbelievably amazing.
September 17, 2010 at 20:28 |
I’ve seen these before on Trendland, but I thought they were photoshopped. I can’t believe these Chinese workers manage to stack so many things on their bikes… and then manage to drive successfully!
September 17, 2010 at 20:33 |
What can one say other than incredible. I can barely pedal my butt around on a bike. I can’t imagine hauling all of that along too!

These are phenomenal photographs as well as shocking feats of balance.
September 19, 2010 at 16:35 |
I appreciate the effort of these cyclists but if u look more closely you’ll notice these are Tricycles and the only thing one has to do while riding is to keep it straight and put a lot of strenth to ride it….;)
September 18, 2010 at 04:12 |

This is beautiful. Just go to show how creative people can get. I would never have thought a person can move that much flowers with a bicycle.

Wow! They should have their own float parade! Do you know if these are regular occurrences, or do passersby gawk at their amazing feats?
September 19, 2010 at 13:44 |
Great pictures!
September 19, 2010 at 18:29 |
Wow! The culture shock of your wonderfully framed photos is enormous. I also like getting a peek at the intriguing architecture in the background.

Wow…truly unbelievable! I often wonder if these types of photos are staged, but it appears that it is not just a job, but a lifestyle.

These are all kinds of awesome! I presume some of these bicycles have extra widgetry and what-not to multiply the force the peddler pushes? If that makes any sense — not mechanically inclined by a long shot here.
September 20, 2010 at 06:13 |
Whoa. Talk about balance.
September 20, 2010 at 06:28 |
wow really amazing…
September 20, 2010 at 06:31 |
Are you sure these photos are real they look fake/altered. Just look at the way the shadows fall.

gosh! they look stunning! 🙂

Great photos!!! That’s amazing balance right there, some of those look pretty top heavy…like Totem #4….I would love to see the process of loading and unloading that one.
September 20, 2010 at 16:01 |
Awesome! What a great way to save the environment. No gas emissions. Bet those peoples legs are really muscular. What an awesome sight that must have been. Thanks for sharing:)

I have lived in Shanghai for more than 20 years, these photos don’t look real thing. I only see not more than 5 times, people overloaded, but it was in van, not on bicycles. Just think about how much the probability the bicycle can be loaded so many tyres without any problems of its own tyre。
It’s the basic, common knowledge!

These make an awesome statement, but they’re very much photoshopped. Just look at ‘Totem #3,’ particularly the pattern of cracks along the sidewalk… I have to admit, I’m very disappointed that the photoshopping aspect isn’t made clearer by the artist. When presenting yourself as a photographer rather than a graphic designer, people put a certain measure of trust in the literal, documentary ‘truth’ of your photos. It’s sort of a reflection on how everything in the media is touched up in some way or another. Not necessarily bad, just impossible to take at face value.
