This is not an unusual sight on the country roads of Viet Nam, as folks go off to market with their "wares". it was fun to see what the next unusual loads was being transported by means of motorbikes. On the way to the airport i saw a guy with two blue and white ceramic vases 5' tall and 18" at the base on either side of his back wheel....wow how did he balance it and weave thru traffic!?

Welcome home!

I carry heavy, awkward things on my 4" wide back bicycle rack all the time. Once you get going at a decent speed, the thing is very stable, even as you bank your bike around corners.

It is amazing..and another proof that thinking you need a car for every trip is delusional.
