OFF–SEASON. : a time of suspended or reduced activity; especially the time during which an athlete is not training or competing.
The tricycad or pedicab (tricycle) is a classic in the Philippines. It’s basically a customized bike, like a side car. In theory, they are made for made for 4 passengers. The reality is pretty different, as you’ll often find 4 … on each bench! Add the children on the laps. Plus an additional passenger just behind the driver.
A little road trip in the Philippines will make you realize how comfy (selfish?) we are when we travel in Occident…
See what I mean by athlete?

Fantastic take on off-season, I love it. Such a great find, beautiful. Happy Sunday to you!
Thanks so much 🙂 TIme for bed in my side o the world, and so to wish you a happy week 🙂
OMG!
Heheheh, I hoped you would stopped by 🙂 He made me think of you, another kind of Athlete on a bike!
Wonderful colours Estelea. Of course you knew I would love them 🙂
😉 Have a beautiful week my dear!
And you too 🙂
My dear! What an interesting look into transportation in the Philippines! Yes, indeed these pedicab drivers have to be athletes, in order to pedal with passengers aboard and the heat/sun bearing down upon them!
This gentleman definitely deserves a relaxing break!
Now that the season is off, I rented a pedicab to travel around with the kids. It’s so convenient (stable) and I could not believe it was so cheap: 1 US dollar for the day! OK, I have to admit that this did not include proper brakes and direction, as we discovered a bit later. Even snails were faster than us this day 🙂 Have a lovely week my dearest XXX
It also speaks of the hard work Philippinos are willing to do, except during the off-season 🙂
A dad who is working under the heat of the sun! Thanks for sharing Ms. Estelea 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Very glad you like the pict, and I love your comment 🙂
Np. 🙂
Fantastic image, sleeping on the job, suggesting off season because no one wakes him to take the cycle rickshaw. Wonderful colours too “jaillissants” in the Filipino sun.
Thanks so much 🙂 Everything always look so much brighter and beautiful with a glimpse of sun, don’t you think? And in the Philippines, where we are blessed with almost 200 days of summer, we can’t really complain (although it is HOT!!)
