Pedal Cabs
A pedal cab is pedaled by a driver. They hold 2-3 passengers. The pedal cabs in Fayetteville, Arkansas, are trikes. The driver sits on a standard bicycle seat, the passengers sit behind the driver on a bench seat. Some of the cabs are equipped with a motor assist, but gasoline engines are not allowed.
The pedal cabs will take passengers up and down the hills of Dickson Street and the surrounding area. Not only are the cabs good for the environment, they are sure to keep the drivers in very good shape.
