(1) Julie Makinen, In Beijing, a Wild Ride on Rickshaw. In China's capital, the rickshaw bicycle is an expedient way to get home. But beware the toughs who will rough up drivers and seize their vehicles. Oct 7, 2012.
(Chengguans beat up a rickshaw driver and took the vehicle away)
Quote: "A number of rickshaw drivers have told me they'll pocket 100 yuan daily, about $16. Regular taxi drivers may gross five times as much in fares over a 10-hour shift, but must pay for gas and the cab company commission; some say they're lucky to net $24.
