Would you use a rickshaw service to get around downtown?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on November 20, 2009
“I have a car, so I would not, but if I didn’t, then yes, I would.”
“No, I would not because it makes me think about the ‘Seinfeld’ episode where it is running down the street and nobody catching me.”
“I would not use it as a novelty, but if the cost was cheap enough, I might use it just to get a few blocks down the street.”
“I don’t think I would. It’s too small down here … and I need the exercise.”

I would prefer hovercraft or a rope tow.

No, I need to walk more, not less.

Teleportation science would be a smart place to put all that stimulus $$$$. No need for rickshaws or cars.

I could see something really bad happening on the way down 14th from the top of the hill.
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
A rickshaw? Are people that fat and lazy? I bet I could get from 6th to 11th... wait 11th to 6th (why would I leave Free State) faster than a rickshaw through the traffic.

Paraeducator?
Does the rickshaw have cup holders?
autie (anonymous) says…
Maybe, it we were really, really toasted and needed to get down the street to go......never mind. No, we'd just eat at the Free State.

Speaking of which..if the have rickshaws, what is next? Caneing for jaywalking? Singapore upon the Kaw.

Could we get chariots pulled by polar bears instead? That'd be cool!

Oh heavens no.
It would be so exploitative, so dirty.

On behalf of those of French heritage, I would like to apologize for the cheating hand ball that allowed France to defeat the Irish in World Cup soccer play. R_I, don't choke on your little thin pancakes.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
No thin little pancakes here autie, ever, period.
This morning was waffles with a pumpkin sauce.

Downtown is hardly big enough to justify anything but walking. Although those brightly colored Tuk Tuk's they use in Southeast Asia might be a fun alternative.

Only if it's being driven by a smelly homless person who kneels down so my wife and I can step on his back to get into the carriage. It would also be nice to supply a whip or in the least a riding crop. They can be paid with our food scraps or maybe just lick the grease off our fingers, although that seems a bit unsanitary. . . better install hand sanitizer dispensers as well.

If I got to say "Chop Chop" heck yes!

I knew a guy years ago named Rick Shaw.
That's hilarious. I bet he took a lot of crap for that as a kid, though.
