I would be lying if I didn’t say I am full of amazement …and admiration!
I came across this pic on the internet while just browsing, and I saw this amazing form of transportation. Now, I have a family history with cows but never, never can I imagine how one can get an animal to sit calmly on the back of a bike (even if it is tied). Can you? They are jittery animals.
What are your thoughts when you first saw this picture?

Exactly! You understand my amazement?
I come from a family of cow herders and I know something about these huge creatures. They weigh a half tonne. One that cow is so content and two the rider has an amazing sense of balance! Wow.

I thought the cow was fake, paper made or something? If it's one alive, it's amazing.

It's a real cow being transported to another long distance place. It's the first time I saw this means of transport.

@Gita17112016 yes that is true, and I do not think a cow would sit just like that

That's the intriguing part. Why is that cow comfy? They panicked easily.

@nela13 That's a really big supposition. Babies are even more skittish. But seeing is believing

@Jessabuma But I think that man has courage too. That cow weighs a huge amount and to balance it in a cycle is really some great skills set.

@Gita17112016 I searched the web and I have seen other photos of cows on the motorcycle, this is not the only one. (Why the rasp??? Did I say anything wrong?)

Neither me. I think they are both to be admired. The cow for it's serene acceptance, and the driver for his uncanny sense of balance. the cow is certainly not light.

That's a cow, my friend. If it shrugs, it's weight alone is to say "I am not agreeing with you'! I grew with cows...fidgety creatures.

That;s the first time I am seeing that. We usually transport a cow over a long distance on the back of an open tray van. This man has some serious skills!

No, I think this is real. I see other amazing pic in India and rural areas. I think most of the citizens become inventive when they live in really isolated areas.

I don't think this is photoshopped. Living in the countryside I have seen my father do many wondrous things also (including chaining a couch for 6 months with a dog chain ) so i am convinced this is real.
Both the cow (for being serene) and the driver (for his superh sense of balance) are admirable. Who would have thought?

I can't even begin to imagine how they got the cow onto the bike! That's pretty amazing.

Must have had friends helping...and must have more friends waiting to help when he reaches his destination!
