A photo study of working bicycles around the world

Tim Pearce and his lovely wife Leslie returned not too long ago from a 6 month tour of planet Earth. They traveled to all sorts of places I dream of one day going and used various modes of transport to get around. Being certified bicycle nerds they also took some great photos along the way. Tim recently shared some with me and I just couldn’t resist posting them here. 

There has been a surge of people using cargo bicycles here in the US as we re-learn what auto-dominated communities have caused most of us to forget. People are again discovering that you can do amazing amounts of work with wheels and a small amount of human power. The simple beauty of human-powered transport is magnified when freight is part of the picture!

Evidence below - all photo credits to Tim and Leslie and I’ll let you guess where they were taken.
