 ’ve always been fascinated by cycle rickshaws, the pedal-powered taxis of the third world, and in 1998 Lonely Planet will be publishing a book all about them. Chasing Rickshaws, as we’ve tentatively named the project, will be Lonely Planet’s first ever ‘coffee table’ book. Tracking down the story of these ingenious vehicles is taking photographer Richard I’Anson and myself on three forays into Asia with visits to 12 cities with interesting rickshaw fleets.
