Travelling along Brunswick Road, St Catherine recently, this hand cart man, who identified himself as Donovan, drew smiles of admiration from a number of people as they commented on his ingenious creation.
It is often said that Jamaicans are among the most creative people in the world and this handcart gives true meaning to that statement.
The cart, which Donovan says he has been operating for the past ten years, has a 'state-of-the-art' suspension system supported by 'chic' 15-inch tyres
A secure under-carriage spare tyre compartment completes this unique handcart. (Photo: Lionel Rookwood)
