Thumbs up Cool - Indian, SE Asian & Chinese Cargo Bikes?



I found this pic on the Love the Fold Blog.

I saw lots of great bikes carrying cargo and passengers when I was in India a few years ago. If you have any cool photos of these sorts of rigs post them in this thread.

I travel to Goa and Karnataka in India in November and February each year and I have never seen a cargo bike in use.
I've seen plenty of broken and damaged but un-moveable flat bed trike used as static market stalls, but I've never seen one being used as nature intended.
