Ron Swafford produced a movie about pedicab life in Austin, Texas.  It’s a great flick and especially good considering it is his first film.

It’s a sad day when a pedicab driver gets thrown in jail while on the job. I wish I knew more about what is going on in NYC.

“Who Wants A Ride?” is a documentary about the “pedicabers” (bicycle taxi) of Austin Texas. Follow the rough group of pedicabers around the back allies of 6th street as they tell their stories. Tales of molestation, celebrities, sex, passion, and other crazy and embarrassing moments. While the job can be crazy at times, there is […]
