Oh the things Vietnamese carry around on two wheels. It’s a hoot!
It never seizes to amaze me what Vietnamese can load on two wheels, other than themselves and a passenger or two (or three or four!).
This week, my family flew back to Vietnam in time to celebrate Tet (Vietnamese New Year) and I’m extremely sad to not be with them. So, in light of the Lunar New Year, we’re going to show you stuff on bikes! 😀
Recycling is important..
Furniture.. who needs a U-Haul?!
Carry a jungle.. carry a business!
Did we mention recycling is very important?!
Cheap, knock-off designer luggage anyone?
This guy gets props for transporting two queen-sized beds through the busy traffic in Saigon.
Some times, they may not be carrying anything at all, but the sheer fact they can sleep on their bikes is damn impressive enough.
Of course the best ones are those not captured on camera. One of my favorites and a rare sighting- a family of five with both parent, two child and one infant. We also like those who sell food off their bikes and seeing people transport animals on bikes from ducks to dogs and little goldfishes in plastic bags.
When it comes to stuff on bikes, nobody packs it better. Ah, I miss Vietnam. Chuc Mung Nam Moi to my peeps, and Happy New Year y’all. Word from the wise, if you’ve already broken your new year’s resolution, here’s your second chance!
Have you been to Vietnam? What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen on a bike?
This is mad! But so true – and quite funny!!

I’m glad I put down my drink before reading this….the guy with the full China cabinet is my fave. INSANE.
Hahaha, yes he impressed us for sure. To be fair, he needed 3-wheels, but still very impressive. Wish I saw him turned the corner. LOL

It always fascinates me, wherever there are two wheels, just how much people can balance on the bikes! I saw an entire family on the back of a ‘taxi bike’ in Africa – they were so heavy the tyres were almost flat but the guy kept driving haha
Hilarious. Poor tires!

Too funny! I’ve seen lots of crazy stuff on bikes in China, but these are comedy gold.
I wouldn’t dare ride a bike in China. LOL

That’s pretty impressive! I whine when I bike to the farmer’s market with one small bag in tow…

Loved this! It reminded me of my time in Vietnam and driving by amazed at what people could carry. I actually got NO good photos. 🙁 My favorite was on the drive to Nha Trang, there were multiple bikes with birds in birdcages stacked up so high. It was by far my favorite sighting!
Ah I know, I didn’t catch my favorite on camera either – goldfishes in little individual plastic bags! LOL

That last photo is priceless! I’ve always wondered if the bikes tip over after the driver dismounts.
