Does anyone know what a pedicab is? A pedicab, or bike taxi, is a bicycle with seats added to the front or back that is used as a taxi. How many of you have seen these in the city? Pedicabs can be found all over the world from Asia to Europe, to Latin America, to North America. Why do you think someone would take a pedicab instead of a taxi? Well, it’s more interesting to ride in back or in front of a bike than in a car— especially on a nice day. If you are a tourist, you probably want to see the city, and a pedicab is a fun way to do that. Also, if there is a lot of traffic, a pedicab can be faster than a car. Who thinks it would be fun to drive a pedicab? Driving a pedicab is a lot of work. It’s good exercise, but a pedicab driver has to be in good shape. Can you imagine riding a bike all day while pulling people around? My legs would get tired after ten minutes. How about yours?
