Also known as “padyak” or “trikad,” the pedicab is a bicycle with an attached side car, much like a tricycle. Like cycle rickshaws, these vehicles use human pedal power to transport passengers. You can find these in small towns and villages, or areas where jeepneys and buses can’t pass. Pedicabs have the capacity of two to three people per ride.

Where to try it: Like tricycles, pedicabs can be found almost anywhere, usually in secondary streets or near markets. I particularly like the colorful designs of the old-school pedicabs in Catbalogan City, Samar.
