Hello Rick your jazzy photo of the Pedicabs is awesome. This is an excellent example of a low light night shot. A bit hazy because of the bright colorful lights but it conveys the story.
Here are photos of the REAL PEDICABS drawn by HUMAN HORSE POWER. These folks are the poorest of the poor and they eke out a living pulling these RICKSHAWS where most of them go barefooted. Efforts to ban these Rickshaws on the grounds that they are against "Human Dignity" has been futile. Reason: These Poor People themselves rise up in protest, as it is their only means of livelihood. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d0gop789klq57i0/AAD19Ll9d3kl_n_teK3JgpVsa?dl=0 By the way, these were introduced by our British Rulers in Calcutta, the then Capital of British India. They rode in style, even taking them to their summer resorts up in the Himalayas. Imagine the poor Rickshaw Pullers going up or down hill and the brute force required. Calcutta is now known as KOLKATA - Mother Teresa's City of Joy. You decide on the JOY. Regards.
