What is a "cycle rickshaw"?
A cycle rickshaw is a small, human-powered vehicle used for transporting passengers, usually in busy cities or tourist areas. It consists of a tricycle with a small carriage attached at the back where passengers sit. The rickshaw is pedaled by the driver to move the vehicle along the road. Cycle rickshaws are an eco-friendly and inexpensive way to travel short distances, often providing a pleasant and comfortable ride for tourists or people in crowded areas. They are particularly common in some Asian cities and other regions with high pedestrian traffic.
