Anyone who has spent enough time outside the U.S. can testify that one can carry a lot more on a bike than would be thought possible.

I've seen a few pictures from China of people carrying full-sized sofas on their backs as they pedal down the street.

Cool story thanks for sharing it! I wish the newspaper would have had a photo or two. I'd love to see it!

There was a photo in the print edition of the Oregonian, not sure why it didn't make the web edition. Part of the move was on a major arterial street; let's hear it for motorist apoplexy!
