impressive looking; OTOH it looks like the chap is hauling scrap polystyrene
and paper (perhaps for recycling?) which isn't all *that* heavy a load.
Still a Good Thing though.
Incidentally anyone got any weblinks to designs for building your own
trailers etc?

On a still day, it's not that hard. If it's blustery...

David Martin describe building his in some detail here. I think it only
takes a single bed, though, so it may not be big enough fo the above uses.

Fairly typical. On my first visit to Shanghai in 1996 I saw a bike
transporting 12 HP laserjet printers - I wish I'd got a shot of it.
Large tanks of purified drinking water are sold to households by
vendors who travel around yelling from their bikes, carring up to
eight.

I did something similar but less extreme with scrap cardboard and plastic
bottles for recycling the other day.
Unfortunately having loaded the bike higher than my head and about four feet
wide I couldn't then get it through the back gate and onto the road so it
all had to come off again and be reloaded. Bah!
