Its sort of returning to that in that, When I was in London a few months ago there were a lot of rickshaws like this;
I took one for quite a short distance. Very opoen and they go quite fast. Also, it seemed tht the automatic detection system at traffic lights coming from minor roads did not register it and we waited for ages at a minor junctiion. But, compared to london taxis quite cheap

The Ariel Leader was a British motorcycle produced by Ariel Motorcycles between 1958 and 1965. A radical design, the Leader was fully enclosed with an integral windscreen and was the first British motorcycle to have optional flashing

One of the sparks used to take me to the office for the wages on a 650cc Ariel Huntmaster c/w Monza sidecar , needless to say I rode pillion .

I had a bike just like this….1960 Triumph Trophy Bird. Waited a long time to get, slid of a tight right hander into a ditch after about 3 months and that was it! Great bike, tons of power (at least for me).
