Hello - First cab

[1johncarlson]

Hello,
I'm John. I have just received an old, pedicab and am fixing it up, making it look nice and improving the safety, etc. and am excited about using it to give rides and make some money with my own two legs. It will be interesting and fun to meet new people and have fun chatting as they ride. There is a big festival, event coming up this weekend, do any of you have some tips for me on how to be a successful pedicab driver and get good tips?

Hi John,
most pedicab riders chat with the customer and this get's you in 'tune' with them, I usually ask from which part of the world they come from and what they are looking to do for the day (maybe suggest a few places to eat or go for a night out). I f you look after your customers, then they will tend to look after you :)

Except in London, England where most pedicab riders cant speak English.

What you do not want to do is stand around honking horns and ringing bells and shouting 'taxi bike taxi bike taxi bike' at punters as they walk down the street.


What kind of rickshaw?

Not an old Indian one I hope.
