The captions are priceless. Thanks for sharing.

Is that one guy really carrying a car?

I think that is Photoshopped as well as the one of the guy pulling the trailer. Its impossible! :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Heh, those were great. :rofl: I showed them to The Boy so he won't think I am completely mad when I build the Xtracycle :D - it could be so much more!

It's not photoshoped, the airstream photo is an old ad. pic. for the airstream company. When my great grandma died I got a huge box of her old post cards to add to my collection and I was amazed to find that one in there. It was basically to show how light and sturdy the airstreams are.

The one of the Airstream is legit and it was "re-enacted at a recent Vintage Airstream Rally near Denver...

The guy pulling the Airstream was one of the top racers of the day.

I first saw the car body one about a year ago. Looks like just the body of a VW Rabbit, which I'm guessing is in the neighborhood of 800 lbs. It's a real photograph. Look at the size of the wheels on the front end. There's a lot of photos on the internet of 2 and 3 wheeled transportation in other countries. Some truly amazing stuff.

guy pulling a trailer is not photoshopped. Thats an actual event. As is the guy carrying a car shell. Its funny how in most of the rest of the world people carry large items on bikes EVERYDAY, but here in America it must be photoshopped, because we cant grasp the idea of using bikes as transport/cargo vehicles.

Lords of the Logistic, mostly small motorbikes, but a few bicycles as well.

I wish I had a picture of it, but whilst I was in India, I saw a motorcycle, with a rider and passenger. The rider had an intravenous drip in his arm, and the passenger was holding the bag up over his head!

Yeah, that's the set of photos I've seen before. You know what they say about "necessity."

Great finds WOW!

That's funny. I saw the Raleigh, NC guy with a full stereo one morning on my commute, or maybe a copy cat. At the time, he had the speakers set up, but hadn't bought a stereo yet.
