The constant parade of colourful bicycle rickshaws makes for a spectacle in itself: they move, swirl around each other, are loaded with the most amazing stacks of items, and carry the entire palette of Indians around the city.
No matter how heavy their load, their strong legs give the cyclist sufficient power to move at a good speed. At the same time, they are extremely agile and can steer their vehicles through the narrowest gaps, passing cows, pedestrians suddenly crossing the street, carts loaded with vegetables, and not in the last place, other cycle rickshaws making unexpected movements. I found watching the bicycle rickshaws plying the streets a fascinating sight in itself. They make for constant movement (although I did see a complete traffic blockade with only cycle rickshaws involved), add colour and atmosphere to the streets, and, not to forget: instead of producing noise and gases, the only sound coming from them is a friendly metallic squeek every now and then.
