Nice. Now how the hell do turn a tight corner with one of those things?

Easy, you just stand it up on the rear wheel and hope for the best

There is a lovely tricycle on that site.  It looks very comfy and would be perfect for tootling around the neighbourhood.  Then again, maybe not mine, since it is nothing but hills.

Oh hills! I love them! I wonder if they do a tandem version?

The one I looked at had a rear seat (child-sized) but no tandem.  And you are welcome to hills.  My arthritis has a definite aversion to them.

Sorry to hear that, would milady like me to be a rickshaw wallah for her?

Oh yes, yes, yes!!!  That would indeed be wonderful.  I don't think there's too much of me left to drag around.

With a fringe on top? - (we're back to Trollio's surrey again). Incidentally, I wonder what's happened to him, he's not been here for several weeks now.

Plain will be fine.  I don't really need "fringe" benefits.  You're right.  I hadn't noticed.  Perhaps on holiday?

Thank heavens - I had suddenly realised that I didn't know of any place at all that sold rickshaw fringes.

One would likely have to send to New York for one.  Possibly a used one from their carriages in Central Park?

The city of New York is not one of my chosen trading partners. New Delhi would be the more likely place.

More economical, too.

You're evidently a sylph.

It would be "sylph-ish" of me to say that about myself, but yes, I am rather short and slim.

Where I used to work there was a woman who was very much given to malaprops and would often voice the wish that she had the figure of a sphinx.

Hope she finally made it.
