Pedal power: From Coventry City football fields to global streets, the human-powered revolution continues. 🚲🏋️ Dave Bennett (left) and Lloyd McGrath, once renowned soccer stars, now pedal for a different reason: to power their mobile food stall in Fetiye, Turkey. 🍔🇹🇷 This tradition dates back to the 1930s, with two-seater tricycles like the one from Zeebrugge, Belgium. 🇧🇶 Today, pedal karts (CM6 2999) and saamlaw (three-wheeled pedicabs) in Thailand's Sakhon Nakhon keep the legacy alive. 🇹🇭 Even in rush hour or downhill, the power of pedaling remains a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. 🚲🏔️ And for the adventurous, bicycling downhill or riding the rails by bicycle adds an extra thrill to the journey.
