How often do you go with a rickshaw ?

a) 1 - 5 times a week
b) 5 - 10 times a week
c) 15 - 20 times a week
d) don't like to travel with a rickshaw

An autorickshaw or one of those people-powered ones?

When in India (and in a larger town) I probably use them 5-10 times a week.
At home, never. Shame because it would still be much cheaper than a cab

I prefer to walk, but if I'm late, or it is just too far then autos are great.

bijapuri · Oct 6th, 2005, 08:18

love at first sight, since 1970! I guess Metros will do them in eventually . . .

Not if I can help it. If the fumes don't kill ya the lorry will

! Hate to be shipped back home with "ATAT" tatooed on my forehead!

Use them a few times when I arrive somewhere new but when I find my feet it's easier, cheaper and more fun to walk.

Walking is more fun that taking the auto? For me it's like a mini rollercoaster, and a lot cheaper than an amusement park

(of course I am secretly a rickshaw driver - see my profile)

Hi

I just love them, when you see them in traffic they allways try to find a way to pass other people, but the noise what they make ;( i just love them.

Walking is also good to of course that is more fun.

Used them several times while in India for a few days last year. Fright factor is on a par with a cab in Cairo, but I just used the old idea of closing my eyes because "What you can't see can't hurt you"

At least that's the theory anyway!

Auto riksha sometimes, when I do not want to drive myself. Cycle riksha, rarely because the places are very far from my residence area.

And I never saw the other train that we had a head-on collision with an hour from Dehli - and that really hurt

I'm a great fan of the auto also. A guy I know mentioned the other day, "why don't the 3 of us get a rickshaw each, and drive back to London?". It would be fun but logistics will probably take the fun out of it.

How often do I go with a Rickshaw?

Frankly, this is a very personal question....I mean, fancy asking a girl to reveal her innermost secrets...

.truth is, I've never "been" with a Rickshaw......

oooh sorry about that - must be my mental state this morning, having a hard time with vacinations this time round....

Nick-H · Oct 7th, 2005, 15:01

I was thinking 'I prefer women' as I clicked on the link ...then I saw your post.

A little worrying that my brain seems to have its own connection to the internet!

Your "connection" to the Internet, Nick, has GOT to be a darn sight quicker than the bl***y dial-up here in Cork this morning anyway!
