I did have a chuckle at the accompanying photo and caption though...

Today I took this out for a test ride today. Its one heavy beast ! So, it should be interesting to see how I get on.

That's no way to talk about your first passenger!

If all he wants is a cycling survey there are easier ways to go about it
Rickshaws are hard work, I think. Feel sorry for the drivers, won't ride in one for this reason.
@Rickshaw Phil may want to follow the story.

Yes, very interested to follow this. Quite a flash trike that one - a Veloform Citycruiser 1 if I'm not mistaken. Probably 95 to 100kg of trike there before adding any passengers but with electric assist to make things easier (Technically not UK legal though. )

Oh the wee cheating so and so: don't feel sorry for him anymore

Similar ones in use in Dublin. Comes with electric assist, for those long/steep hills in Dublin city centre.
