A pedicab in Westminster
(Picture: Westminster Council)You may not know what a pedicab is, but you would know one if you saw one. Think bright lights, feathery thrones and a push bike in front — they’re also known as rickshaws. You may think they’re harmless fun.
But for the businesses we represent in the West End, they’re a major issue and a real nuisance. There have been instances of unsuspecting passengers (often tourists) being charged hundreds of pounds for short journeys like from the West End to Waterloo Station.
