Hey Rickshaw Willy,

Like the way you style Bro, I am a few years older and have nicer legs but you look good in your tux and tennie’s. Way to roll!

Hello Rickshaw Willie. My name is Philip Robertson and I read your fascinating article this morning. Kudos to you. I have been riding a pedicab for years now and it has been the greatest blessing in my life. I still ride in Victoria, British Columbia and I will be 55 this April. One of the other riders (who is the same age) both agree that we can do this job indefinitely. In 20 years we might not be able to manage the hills in Beacon Hill Park but we will always be able to do a half hour to 40 minute Chinatown tour. For 17 years now I have not worked a day in my life since I don’t consider pedicabbing work. I still marvel that people actually pay me to ride them around on a bike. I am blessed and so are you. Congratulations.

Hey Yussie, Rickshaw Willie here. As long as the main street you will be pedaling is nice and flat you should have no problem even being 75 yrs young. I can do some of the smaller hills but the bigger hills really take it out of me. The nice thing is, you get stronger everyday. If you need more information you can email me and I will help you anyway I can. Tim Wilhelm, rickshawwillie@aol.com

I came across this article and it seemed just like something that would suit me . I am 75 and been out of work for a year . I live in a small town with about 6000 people and a main street about a half a mile long . Based on your statistics would a man my age be able to peddle one of these cabs and could you send me any information on permits and cost to operate your Pedie Cab
Thank You ,
Yussie

I was wondering how the host beat them both too. Also, a good point about it not being quite realistic since there were no passengers in the pedicab. Pedicab still would have won though I think but just by a bit less of a margin.

Why not have pedicabs sponsored by the major companies that are responsible for greenhouse gases.This would be one way they could contribute something back to the environment by cutting down on traffic pollution.

Excellent information I will probably use this in my classroom for future debates. We will periodically check in for future updates
