The Humble Rickshaw
A rickshaw, well technically an auto-rickshaw, aka a tuk tuk,
is a 145cc (7 horsepower) commuter scooter with a trailer and roof bolted on.
We named the seven horses that power our rickshaw,
Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey and Doc.
Size wins on Indian roads, and that puts the auto-rickshaw only
just ahead of cyclists and donkeys (there's seven small horses remember).
And with an average speed of 15mph it was a long, slow, slog.
