Tandem Rickshaw

 travel by rickshaw without guilt

In the Tandem Rickshaw there is an extra set of pedals for the passenger(s) so that you no longer have to feel guilty, as some poor person sweats like a slave powering you along the city streets.

Of course your gearing is variable so that it can range from being virtually effortless, all the way to that of a fully shared load.

Comes in the form of either a side-by-side seat rickshaw, or an in-line tandem for speedy trips. This variation is called The Tandem Taxi.

       If you are pedalling a chainring connected to the same chain which is being driven by the rickshaw driver, you could actually resist the driver's pedalling if you wanted to *really* make him sweat.

       That would be The Feet Dragging option.   

       I have also considered S&Ms Horse's Head Tandems, as a special option service, where the main "driver" wears a horse's head, and the "passenger" gets to mush them along with a whip.

       What if the pedals hooked up to a pair of rear-pummeling feet?

       aren't rickshaws technically hand-drawn ?
—FlyingToaster, Aug 26 2010
   

       There are different types, and there could be technical names, but the generic one is rickshaw.

       Ah, not Denholm's twin brother, then?

       Strangely enough, there is a niece somewhere in the family tree called Tandem. In her youth she was known as the college bicycle; hence the term "can you ride Tandem?".
