The Ride

What is a Pedi-Cab?

A pedi-cab (also called a rickshaw or cycle rickshaw) is a human-powered, three-wheeled vehicle that carries passengers in comfort while the driver pedals. It's the greenest, most fun way to get around Chicago.

  • How It Works

    You hop in the back, tell Roger where you want to go, and he does all the pedaling. The cab seats up to two adults comfortably, with a canopy overhead to keep you shaded. No engine, no exhaust — just fresh Chicago air and great conversation.

  • The Cab Itself

    Roger's cabs are custom-built, well-maintained three-wheelers with padded bench seating, safety belts, and a weather canopy. They're nimble enough to navigate the lakefront path and sturdy enough to handle Chicago's streets year-round.

  • What to Expect

    Expect a relaxed, personal experience. Roger knows Chicago inside out — he'll point out landmarks, share stories, and tailor the ride to your pace. Whether it's a quick hop between venues or a full sightseeing loop, every ride is one of a kind.

  • Eco-Friendly by Design

    Pedi-cabs produce zero emissions. Every ride with Roger is a small vote for a greener Chicago. Since 2001, Roger has logged thousands of trips without burning a drop of fuel — just good old-fashioned pedal power.
