Pedi-cab is one of the symbols of Bangladesh. It's more than means of transportation. It's a special layer of art. Each creation like this requires so much labor! Each pedi-cab is unique and you can't find two similar ones. Only in Dacca there are 350 000 pedi-cabs. Here you can see how artists create masterpieces like this.
