Watching the parade go by


Bicycle Rickshaw, King St., Charleston, SC

This Bike Taxi driver knew he wasn't going to get anywhere during the MLK parade so he leaned back and enjoyed the show passing by.

Oh, oh, oh.....go check out this Obama doll. The suit is a terrible fit but the likeness is amazing.

You know they banned Bicycle Rickshaws in Toronto because it made them look like a third world country.

Bob: That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I remember in Hong Kong they didn't expect you to actually want a ride - it was assumed that it was just a photo op to pose in the rickshaw.

Love this pic. This job might be the key to my weight loss...if I could get any passengers! :)

Lessie, I haven't seen an overweight rickshaw driver yet and they get paid to stay fit.
