Bicycles (and Tricycles)

First, a photo of a standard Indian bicycle:

It doesn't get any more basic than this, although I'm surprised a single-speed bike uses hand brakes rather than a coaster brake.

Just about anything can be delivered on a bicycle. In addition to these, I've seen propane cylinders and stacks of chairs being transported on a bicycle (not on a tricycle cart). Tricycle carts deliver everything from building supplies to food.
