Tricycle Pickup

In some ways this image reflects a blend between the old and the new.  While the number of cars is rapidly increasing in China, older forms of transportation still survive.  Tricycles like this one can be found all over China.  They are real work-horses and can be seen carrying enormous loads, sometimes to the extent that the rider has to get off and push!  Note the spare inner-tube dangling at the side corner of the tray.

The modern Citroen taxi in the background  is a sign of the new China.
