Pedicab or “bicycle rickshaw” is an eco-friendly tricycled mode of transport available in many U.S cities including San Diego. Originally created in Japan, today it is used worldwide as a popular tourist attraction. Furthermore, in such countries as India or Australia it this transport took stronger routes. There are around 1 million pedicabs today in Asia alone. In some developing countries, pedicabs serve as a major mode of public transportation.

When pedicabs first appeared, they were hand pulled. Today we have even electric powered pedicabs, though this type of cab has been banned in New York City and some other major areas of the country. Still, there are a lot of different pedicabs we can see at San Diego streets today such as boardwalk pedicab, broadway pedicab, classic pedicab and even pedal pickups and billboard bikes.
