Pedicabs Arrive, But What About Pedi-Passengers?

We told you the other day about Mayor Fenty's introduction of pedicabs as an additional mode of transportation for inauguration. And the pedicabs in fact, have arrived. We've seen them on U Street, in Adams Morgan and around Chinatown. What we haven't seen much of so far, however, are pedicabs with passengers in them. When he couldn't find a regular taxi, DCist's Sriram Gopal took one home from a gig last night at Bossa Bistro & Lounge in Adams Morgan. "I believe the last time I rode in one of those was in 1986, in India," Gopal said.

Have you taken a ride in a pedicab? Or have you seen tourists riding around in them? Let us know in the comments.
