Anyone see a hand-pulled rickshaw lately?

You know what a rickshaw is: it's a taxi pulled by a man who walks (or runs) in front of a two-wheeled chariot.  Think back to that Seinfeld episode with Kramer and the downhill slide...

Please get in touch if you know of anyone who'd like to part with theirs, or if you know of a rickshaw rental business in the Bay Area.

See example below:


It's probably much easier to build a Palanquin so no need to email me about those! :)

I did see rickshaws in Kamakura (or was it Kawagoe) in Japan this year so I know they're out there...

Today: routine maintenance

Looked at rear axle connections today to ensure smooth, reliable operation of pedicab #1. No more squeaking, hooray!

I'm also taking a pedicab to a wedding tomorrow in Pleasanton to celebrate the lives of a nuptial couple. Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Rick
