I'm the ebay seller ... but not the person who shipped. As it turns out it was actually the postal employee that did this. Apparently they were trying to get rid of old stamps....
Only recumbent photo I've seen so far in this collection - nothing edgy/dangerous:

Not a great picture of the bike; I can't tell what it is. But it does look like a nice place to ride.
Links to a crazyguyonabike journal for a Norwegian Touring Honshu, Japan (with pics of the bike, a folding, front-wheel-drive recumbent).

These are just places where a lapse of attention or a little carelessness would be fatal. (There was a photo from one of those South-American "death roads" posted too. But it didn't look as risky as these I've picked.)
