Bike Loads

Biking was the chosen way of transportation in Mozambique, with one particular black, upright model as most popular. Watching the bikers carry loads of awkward shape and often extreme weight, I was thoroughly impressed. I (Sara) would run every morning before breakfast and saw a lot of bikers on the way to their daily tasks trading, farming, selling, school etc. It made me miss biking a great deal, and it made me super thankful I can bike most places in Madison. A common load on a bike was timber on the back of their bike, extended a good two feet on either side. Sarah and I both tried to catch this feat on camera while we were driving past, but failed miserably.
