you know, it's not until you see old footage (from, say, 2001)...

...that you realize what was once a "constant" is no more...

...like the RICKSHAWS!  we don't have any rickshaws anymore.

I wonder what happened...

Maybe they couldn't find someone to haul people's asses around any more. And a cigah is just a cigah.

The time one of them, (containing Bill and Greg) went down a hill shouting "make way for the King!" and the idiot patron turned around and stood still, daring them to run her over...and they flinched. ...Tumbling both men out and onto the ground...

Dunno, perhaps that there are more mid path things and it was deemed too crowded, but I noticed and was dismayed, 'cause my dad would need a rickshaw to enjoy faire.

I think those things were to big. several small single seaters would/could be benificial. maybe double seaters. those rickshaws (as I remember them) were more like carts that could've been pulled by a horse (okay some of the guys were about like that.)

i have noticed that they haven't been there for at least a couple of years. i have no guesses as to why.

I kept hoping they'd show back up. Mom's favorite pub is the Dragon and she can't make the hills back up to the parkinglot (COPD and on O2 and no she won't wheelchair it) so she' pretty much stuck going no further than the White Hart or the Boars Head.

I agree, a smaller one would be nice but maybe it was a liability issue.
