I see this cycle rickshaw parked on Queen St West fairly often but have yet to see anyone driving it or even better, having a ride. It looks like it has seen better days but still, it would be fun to go for a ride.
This one looks a bit bedraggled. It reminds me of a rickshaw ride in Manhattan about a decade ago. We hailed a driver and he took off across the island. It turns out that he had just arrived in the USA from Russia two or three days earlier, and he had no idea of the geography of the city. So, I was telling him which way to turn, and he was in agony because riding a bike while pulling a rickshaw was so new to him.

Funny and funky. I think you ought to take a ride and then tell us about it. But make sure your life insurance is paid up first! :)
Very cute! It does look like it might be fun.
rather unique, for sure!
This reminds me of the rickshaws at Kathmandu, Nepal: http://mendoncajose.blogspot.pt/2012/04/rickshaws.html
omg, this is unique!
Great find!
Hmmm, that's peculiar!
Hard work pedaling if there are any hills involved!
Looks fun, but aren't there too many wheels......
Pimp your rickshaw. I think this is a lovely street scene; maybe an adhoc art installation?

Pretty fancy.
I imagine it would be quite a bumpy ride, great looking bike though!
Interesting decorations. Might be fun to give it a try.
I'm not sure I'd trust the structural integrity!
How cute, I agree, it would fun to see it whizzing down the street.
How cool is that!
Such a pretty little rickshaw Pat, is it used to advertise a restaurant maybe ?
Yep, this would be a fun day out!
