Pedicabs are also otherwise known as bicycle rickshaws which are a very familiar mode of transport in many Indian towns and cities. In recent times it has become quite popular in London as well. For many, it is great fun to travel around Central London, Soho or the West End in a cycle rickshaw. Just imagine going to a restaurant or a hotel in a bicycle rickshaw. However, one question crops up when talking about these cabs; are they safe? Well, consider a few things to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable ride on a rickshaw. An Alternative to Walking London Pedicabs are to be considered as an alternative to walking. They are quite useful when travelling short distances. Otherwise, you can use the tube or opt for other modes of public transport. These rickshaws are ideal for two normal sized adults though three can still squeeze in. In case, there are more than three in your group, it is better to hire another rickshaw. Make sure that you do not ride in an overloaded rickshaw as they can be quite unstable, particularly when turning a corner. These rickshaws are at their safest when moving around places like Soho, West End or Central London since the traffic moves quite slowly. Why Choose the Big Companies? Bicycle rickshaws are easily recognizable in London since most carry colourful advertisements on them. Many UK Outdoor Advertising firms use these rickshaws for promoting products and services of some leading companies. Another distinguishing feature of the big rickshaw companies is that their logo is clearly displayed on the cab. Even the rickshaw drivers can be distinguished by the T-shirts they wear. They also wear a name badge that is clearly visible and are covered by the Code of Practice. There is one thing that you should take care of though. Most rickshaw cabbies are not as efficient as the London cabbies since they do not have the same knowledge levels. Further, you may need to be very clear in your language since most rickshaw cabbies belong to different nationalities. Hence, it is important to make sure that your driver knows where you want to go before getting into the rickshaw. Fare Negotiation Before you get into the rickshaw, make sure that you have worked out the fare. Most pedicab companies have a basic flat rate per passenger. The rickshaw driver adds his fee on top of this and negotiates with you. So, make sure that you agree to a fair rate before starting your journey. If you are happy with the cabbie you can always tip him 10% to 15% of the agreed rate. Lastly, London Pedicabs are not just a transport alternative, they also provide an alternative to your outdoor advertising efforts. So, fasten your seat belt and have a joyful ride.
