I have found it so interesting to see how many ways the Chinese use bicycles. I was reading in the local expat newspaper, The China Daily, that China has the worlds largest number of bicycles. I can believe it. When you are walking you have to watch out for the bicycles as well as the cars. They both will run you down if you're not careful. 
These are street sweepers. Notice how they cover their mouth and nose so they won't breathe in the dust. Many pedestrians also wear these surgical type face covers, especially during the winter. They don't like to breathe cold air
The round shaped objects are actually dried fish. They are sitting on the back surface of a bike-truck. Notice how old the bikes appear to be. They are really an important means of transportation. 
They can load amazing amounts of 'stuff' on the back of a bike-truck. For many this is their means of income. You can hire a bike-truck to transport things for you. 
There are many of these covered bike carriages on the street. They are a peddle taxi that even the locals use.
This is a bike repair shop. You can find these shops on almost every street corner. 
Many fruits and vegetables are sold from bike wagons.
Bikes are great, don't you think?
