This iron horse, if it were able to talk it would cry for merrcy. I wonder if the person who made this bicycle imaged how much load it carries. Well to the owner this horse means alot to him and his family. He earns a living from fetching clean spring water and sells it to earn a living. His bicycle can carry nine, 20 litre jerrycans at one go. Each 20 litres jellycan of water costs 300/= when the national grid is supplying and 500/= when the suppy is off and higher when the demand grows due to dry periods. One thing is having merrcy on horse but the other thing is having concern on the future health of the individual who pushes this bike from the first day of January to the last day of December. I have seen this guy do this job for over five years. It only on weekends that his children help him with the pushing, when they are off from school.
