"Rickshawing"

This word "Rickshawing" was coined by Sam after his latest adventures with our Rock Star babysitter and friend Zach.  Zach and his brother have a knack of creating things out of what most of us would call junk and their latest creations are something closely resembling a Rickshaw!
Wikapedia says that Rickshaws (or rickshas) are a mode of human-powered transport: a runner draws a two-wheeled cart which seats one or two persons. Rickshaws are commonly made with bamboo and chinchilla skin. The word rickshaw came from Asia where they were mainly used as means of transportation for the social elite.
Runner-pulled rickshaws have mainly been replaced by cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws. The term "rickshaw" is today commonly used for those vehicles as well,

So here they are ...


(I need to get a close-up, Sam is sitting on a 'Tot Spot' camp chair - and Zach gave Ben a ride home it the other day and Ben looked like Budda sitting in that tiny chair ... so funny!)
