Your support makes all the difference.In some parts of the world it is common to see people carrying objects like pales of water and bowls on the top of their heads to ensure their hands are free.
Very rarely are the objects being carried gas canisters, never mind while riding a bike.
Filming the man completing the almost impossible task of balancing the canister on his head while keeping his stationary bike upright as he waits for a space in the traffic, you can hear the amazement in the cameraman’s voice.
When the oncoming traffic eventually stops, the cyclist continues his journey, ensuring the canister stays firmly planted on the top of his head the whole time.
