Strange Chinese picture thread

Well hell, at least they are mainly all wearing helmets! And their concrete truck on the left running interference for them on the left flank helps a lot. 8 on 2 wheels, 21 on 3 wheels that should be 30 or so in a small car. I await the picture ...

some passengers noticed they are photoed, showing 'I'm riding ok' and genuine smile.

Thanks for that observation, TD.

Believe it or not, I shot this while riding. I'm slowly mastering the technique of having the camera slung around my neck, and quickly picking it up with my left (clutch) hand, holding it from the back with my fingers across the top, and hitting the shutter with my index finger. Yes, a couple of these guys did notice that I was doing this, and smiled. I have two other images from this series if anyone wants to see them.

I was on the East 5th Ring side road when I saw this speed limit.

Now, which side goes up

Herewith they announce the reading of the gas meters in my home - I guess

I think the average speed a person walks at is 3 mph (about 5 kph). So, people going into the compound (presumably to work) have to crawl on their hands & knees.

Here's what i saw on my way home last night, classic!






Here's what i don't understand: that long bar is designed to stop vehicles that are too tall to go under the bridge right? So how did that truck drive under the bridge and clip it on its way out?

Dont be surprise at inconsistency.
I guess there isn't one on way in or the bar, if exist, is higher than way out one.

Good point. If it made sense it wouldn't be china!
