I'll have to see if I can find the photo of me and my housemate moving house by bicycle when we lived in Nigeria. We balanced the kitchen table on top of his bike, piled everything on top (including the three piece suite in the living room) and four of us then held on and wheeled it to the new house. It took two or three loads and we even shifted the bed frames and mattresses this way.
