Pedicabs

Arina Habich, november 23, 2010, Urban Design Podcast

Pedicabs in Malaga Spain. Provided by Steve Meyer.

The streets of China are crammed with pedicabs. This is an official form of transportation in high-density areas. In past decades, they started to migrate to the U.S. and Europe. A revision of the pedicab made it to Denver, Colorado in a mountain bike-pedicab hybrid. Steve Meyers founded Street Pedicabs in 1992. Since then, his company has grown, bringing the mountain bike-wheeled pedicabs all over the world.

The pedicab is an additional method of transportation that both planners and designers could propose for use in their projects. Pedicabs have been used and tested in different climates with successful results.
