I have been trying for nearly 6 months to get this shot

I either couldn’t get my camera out in time, or it would come out all blurry or the guy would turn a corner at the last minute.

There are probably hundreds of these fellows in Cairo. You see them on the busiest streets. They are bread delivery men, obviously. They ride these single speed, flintstone style braking, rusted old contraptions from very early in the morning, till late in the evening delivering bread to sidewalk vendors.

The bread is often piled on some newspaper on the sidewalk and the person selling the bread is usually a young boy.

I have only once see the aftermath of a spill. The guy was picking up bread off the street and piling it back on the rack. I am sure it went to its destination and was sold.
