Three wheels, a machine of hope.

In the Philippines, particularly in the visayas region, we call this vehicle as trisikad, sikad or potpot. It is a very simple machine that is operated like a bicycle but it has one more wheel attached to its side to support the passenger's seat.

Trisikads are often found in small streets or in the market place. They follow a simple rule that says, "Please fall in line." They are very useful during night times when no other vehicles are running on the main streets.

To better understand trisikads, come in the Philippines and ride at least once to satisfy your curiosity.
