Bread on a bicycle

I respect all the hustlers and small business operators in Tanzania with many operating with razor thin margins all built on the simple business principle of, "buy for one, sell for two". One day while driving in Dar es Salaam I managed to pay particular attention to the bread delivery services. It's not a particularly nutritious type of bread but apparently Dar es Salaam relies on a network of local couriers for fresh deliveries.
Africa is known for couriers that overload their means of transportation to the max. This isn't always a good thing but it can sure look impressive. The lighter the item the more absurd the packing jobs can appear to be. One of the more amusing loads of cargo are mattresses as they can often times be in a volume larger than the vehicle itself! Although bread is not nearly as impressive, it is still induces a double take when you see them and a feeling of admiration for their careful packing.
