The other night, my buddy, Troy, was lamenting the fact that he has -- on apparently more than one occasion -- been almost run down by rickshaws in Downtown Raleigh -- while he was simply walking on a sidewalk. Troy and his wife have played "chicken" with rickshaws while walking down the sidewalks of DTR, and, in one instance, he described having to run defense so that a pedicab didn't run over his wife.
*Is this an issue? Have others had problems with Raleigh rickshaws seemingly having no regard for others? Are they allowed on sidewalks? Should they be allowed on sidewalks? Or is this a non-issue, and maybe the riders just have it out for Troy?

I'm going to have to say that I love the fact that Raleigh has these rickshaws but I too have been about run over while walking down the sidewalk. Sidewalks are for walking. Things with tires need to be in the street.
Yeah, I think people like having them around. But this could be dangerous.
