It's a photo of what I would have thought physically impossible.
A cow that size would weigh around 300 kg.
So how does the rider carry that weight across his legs?  The rope at the back would only carry about 30 to 50 kg, so between the rider and the tank, they carry the rest.  And where do you find a cow that would go along with that arrangement without kicking up a fuss?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
