rickshaw rides

Human-powered taxi trips

Rickshaw rides are trips taken in a rickshaw—a small passenger vehicle pulled by a person on foot or by bicycle.

The term evokes tourist experiences in Asian cities or novelty transportation in Western urban areas: We took rickshaw rides through the old quarter.

The plural often appears in travel contexts describing activities or excursions.
