Cardboard on a bike

There are at least four things to note in this picture:

1. If you look closely, you can tell that someone is actually pedaling this bike, it's not just standing at the corner.
2. The pedestrians displaying a complete insouciance for the oncoming bike/cart that is about to run them over. 
3. The cyclist who, despite the fact that his vehicle is clearly neither lean and svelte nor a speed demon, is not at all concerned about making a left-hand turn from the left (i.e., oncoming traffic -- traffic travels on the right here, as in the US) side of one street into the oncoming-traffic lanes of the other. 
4. He's turning against the light.

This is pretty much how traffic works in China.

    Huh?

    No, I haven't seen the movie, and yes, I chose the name anyway.  I'm told an Asian woman with green eyes is a plot point.
