getting to work

One of the interesting things about walking down the street in China is transportation.  In America you basically see cars, SUVs, trucks, buses, and people on foot.  In China, you have cars, buses, bikes, e-bikes (bikes that run on electricity), scooters, three wheeled cars, three wheeled trucks, taxis, and all manner of hybrid vehicles.  So in answer to the question how do people get to work, here are some pictures:

 

You've got your chevrolegs.

Then your standard bike and scooter.  

 This is a Sanlun che (three wheeled car) it serves as a sort of low cost taxi.  These guys are cheap, but crazy.  I have only ridden in one once. They are crazy like taxi drivers but not bound to the street, they can (and do!) weave in and out of cars, bikes, and pedestrians... 

 If you look to the left of the 3 wheeled car you see the family bike.  I think it's also an e-bike which means you don't have to pedal.  This guy has his family out, wife, daughter, and infant child all on his bike (This is not uncommon, in fact it is fairly commonplace to see three or four people on a bike). 

I wish I could get a front picture of this... This lady is basically riding a bicycle with a back seat.  The front looks like a bicycle, and the back is a chair on top of two wheels.

 
 Which is different from this ladies 3 wheeled e-bike with chair. 

And you have your three wheeled delivery truck.  These are super common for hauling things here. 

Taxi!

Looking at this collection I need to add a black Audi because anybody whose anybody drives a black Audi.
