“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 […]

Getting a fare is more than about being in the right place at […]

Joanne has set up a flicker group entitled “Austin Pedicab and the unmotorized revolution“. There are some great photos of many familiar faces. Mmmm, all those pretty pedicab ladies. 

This is a movie shot in Austin Texas. I think it was done by Matt Kordelski. Good work Matt.
