Pimp my trash cart....

Isn't this beautiful? I have seen this contraption almost every day for years now! It is owned by an elderly Chinese man in my neighborhood and he rides it up and down the streets ALL DAY and NIGHT long. I have seen this guy miles and miles away from here too. He has NO FEAR of the busy NYC streets and I have seen in going down a MAJOR street in the MIDDLE of traffic. I don't mean on the sidewalk....I mean in the LANES along with the cars!The bike and the cart stay the same but the umbrellas and other objects hanging about always tend to change.....I guess he likes to keep up with the ever changing styles...ha! I am posting this today because I almost DIED the other day when I looked out my window and saw it parked in front of my place. It stayed there almost the ENTIRE day and I didn't know why. Then I took a closer look and saw that he had a FLAT TIRE and so he had put it on a JACK....yes folks....a JACK! Check it out....I love it!Here is a closer look of the JACK that he used to prop it up until he could come and change the flat tire later that day.....Classic!

Perfect....it is kind of funny because I have seen him "out and about" almost EVERY time that I have left my house since I made this post about him. I see him EVERYwhere! Forget him though....you need a pic with the Naked Cowboy in Times Square.

No...it is a BIKE. See the half bike part? He has it connected to the cart and he rides the bike and it pushes the cart all over town. Nice! The cart is like a HUGE basket for him. He just rides along chucking junk into it. Nice!
