Cycle Rickshaw 照片檔

A paying passenger sits comfortably in a man-powered cycle rickshaw, known as a becak, along the main coastal highway in South Kalimantan province, Indonesia. The cycle rickshaw is a small-scale local means of transport. As opposed to rickshaws pulled by a person on foot, cycle rickshaws are human-powered by pedaling. They are a type of tricycle designed to carry passengers on a for-hire basis. Cycle rickshaws are widely used in major cities around the world, but most commonly in cities of South, Southeast and East Asia. The cycle rickshaw is crossing a bridge on a hot sunny day in this June 2004 photo.
