Thats one of the shitty things bout travelling in the 3rd world, not all puters have keyboards with letters on them, that coupled with dislexia makes typing a bitch but thats OK as I can handle being "mocked" by the village idiot.
A quick question, are your mother and father brother and sister?

Oh and thats being mocked, not being mock.
I did not know you have dyslexia.That changes everything! My son has the same thing so I do apologise. You take care and looking forward to hearing from you when you are back in UK.
Hi guys, just a quick reminder the forum is ment for bitching about rickshaw, pedicab, cycle rickshaw and any other pedicab like struff, so this fest has now moved to off topics - though I do enjoy the harsh wording enjoyed on occasions between you two :). Good thing we are all on the same side of the fence :D
yes we are on the same side and I have nothing but love for rickshaw 92

This is an African rickshaw, called a Boda Boda.

They ply for hire and carry passengers.

Great photos! Tx for sharing :) - it's a convential bicycle....I always thought that a boda-boda would be a kind of pedicab....
Saludos
I imagine a more traditional pedicab would be a hit. Could probably earn your money back in maybe 6 months.
They have seen a need and filled it. Remember that money is not the only unit that is exchanged here. I bet lots of these boaga boaga drivers have never seen or heard of a rickshaw or pedicab. Our business model will not work here with out considering their needs. Could a real 100$ rickshaw work here yes, But 100$ is one third of a years wages. :confused: So the cost is $12,000 for a rickshaw in our world, in comparitive value. The perfect model for the micro loans you hear so much about.
