So - is that you in the piccy? 
I'm sure someone will beat that before long. I've been puzzling a bit over what the guy is carrying: they look like bundles of fruit of the oil palm but seem a bit dried-out. Maybe someone else will correct me?
While in Indonesia we saw several guys, on bikes, carrying huge bundles of cassava leaves - several times larger than the bike itself. Rather like in your piccy but I'm not sure if I have a photo. We had it explained to us that the leaves (which vaguely resemble hemp leaves ) are mainly used for animal fodder, for which they are a valuable side-crop.

Does that include trailers
In Somerset i have seen a guy towing a fridge freezer home having just been to currys, and someone else towing 2 homemade trailers made from old tea chests with 27" wheels.

Five toe straps for a pair of wheels and two pairs of tyres for five miles across Bristol, carefully.

More proof - as if any were needed - that all you need camera-wise is a phone.

Err.. If your idea of pictures is a badly exposed photo like that I would agree.

If he hit a pothole, he would fill it with bricks, thus fixing the pothole. He's a clearly some sort of roving genius highways engineer.
