Hi Pete and all,
I never heard of a "tuk tuk" so I looked it up, just one of many local
words for motorised rickshaw. Those pulled the old fashioned way are more
common than most think, very common in fact. There are several kinds, one
looks like the Cushman used by police for parking enforcement and we have
one here with a bin on back the DPW uses for trash collection.
"I doubt I'd want to give it a try."
The others scare the crap out of me, OK in India and Asia where traffic
patterns allow but around here I would(n't) be caught dead in one. That
cute little Cushman is another story, proven road worthy around town (you
wouldn't dare the highway even if it could reach highway speed) I have no
problem with it.
Oh, there's another version in Egypt called the Tut Tut... tut tut.
