Benny Gold Bites the Bullitt
The cool people at Benny Gold are now the denizens of a bad ass, Danish designed, Bullitt cargo bike replete with beautiful hand painted signs and cargo box. Gorgeous and functional, this bike/street sign is a welcome addition to the 16th Street-scape.

Used Rubber
Do you have 20+ used bicycle tires that need to be recycled? If so, you are someone who would find a cargo bicycle useful. Like any other bicycle, they do not require any special equipment to use.
Sweater- Halogen
Jeans- Facçonable
Shoes- Target
Shirt- not shown, but is by SkunkFunk
Bike-Metrofiets
Cargo-20+ used bicycle tires
Yes, folks, even lugging 40 lbs of used tires by bicycle does not require you to dress differently than you do any other time. And, if you are a single women, you will find this a great way to meet guys. Really, they will come out of the woodwork to talk to you.

Super-Picnic Man!
All he's missing is a mask and cape!
He's Super-Picnic Man! Conquering mountains in a single bound, delivering food to hungry hikers! Please join me in standing up an applauding this man for he is the hero of his picnic party's day.
And speaking of heroes, check out these other super-heroes and super-villains à vélo!

another orange cargo bike
The answer is yes. Cargo bikes in SF are orange. [More proof.] This bike seems to be permanently planted at 18th & Mission. I've never seen anyone riding it, so here's a friend of mine striking a pose with this lovely orange hauler!

Guest Photos: Holly from Bangladesh
My friend Holly has been shooting a documentary in Bangladesh and sent me these photos and commentary about bicycle culture in that country.
Since Bangladesh is the most densely populated country on earth and also has the least cars per person (fact told to me by my ever interested in statistics father), you will understand why Bangladeshis have a close relationship with the bicycle. One of the most common jobs is to be a rickshaw driver, as you can see from the examples here.
Rickshaw drivers maybe make $50 a month. If that. You can catch a ride for
less than 30 cents. are many forms of the rickshaw, from the one we most commonly see with the "two seater and shaded back" which is always highly decorated. They also come in forms with two benches on the back so that up to six people can sit facing each other.
Or of course you can use them to carry anything from goats and eggs to the common hay bushels as seen here.
I have to say that Bangladesh must be the most Vélo Vogue country in the world. The rickshaw drivers manage to climb over male style bicycles in the lunghi which is a male style skirt.
They effortlessly get on the bike standing with one foot on a peddle and swing the other knee up and over as if they all are yogi masters with flexibility and agility.
Their calves are made of steel and they would give Lance Armstrong a run for his money if they were to race. Although Bangladesh is mostly flat countryside, but I think after hauling such loads, they would take to the hills effortlessly as well.
