Okay, so NOT my neighbourhood rickshaw-wallah! Even though his steed is identical to the ones back home, except the ones here are generally far more rundown and, er, less restrained in their decoration. I'd love to have his shoes!
Diana, I know exactly what you mean about mad rickshaw pulling! That's what we have too, and it is downright scary. For shorter distances, which are the norm here as rickshaws ply on restricted routes, I actually prefer to walk rather than take a rick ride! (San, now you know --- this beast ain't at all dead yet!)
Wonder why no governments have ever enforced belts on rickshaw riders, a la Shannon, and for better-off communities, a biking helmet for the driver?
Thanks so much for this, Greg! Loved it.
