In China, cargo bikes power a wide range of small businesses. People turn them into stalls, selling vegetables and snacks. You’ll see delivery riders outside markets, waiting to haul someone’s shopping home. Others cycle past with towering loads of cardboard or Styrofoam on their way to be recycled. Even street cleaners use specially outfitted bikes to sweep and empty bins along sidewalks. Their ability to use cargo bikes in so many different ways demonstrates the ingenuity of China’s bicycle culture.
