I love the fact that in places like China and India people will use rope and duct tape to strap things to their bikes which most people here in the states wouldn't even consider hauling with a trailer.
I've been going more and more away from using my car (especially since it died a couple weeks ago!) and I'm starting to realize exactly how much crap I can pile on my bike and still manage to ride around. The only real difficulty is that unlike China or India where most people don't have any majour hills to tackle in town, I live at the top of a bigass hill which makes it tough to attempt some of the really crazy loads.
