====United States==== {{See also|Rickshaws in the United States}} [[File:JaysPedicabAspen.png|thumb|upright|Jays Valet, Luxury Transportation & Pedicab Service in the 4th of July (Independence Day) Parade in Aspen, Colorado]] In many major cities, pedicabs can be found rolling about city centers, nightlife districts, park lands, sports stadiums, and tourist-heavy areas. Myriad uses have been discovered in the states, including car-park-to-event transport at large events nationwide. Thousands of pedicabs today operate on streets in locales including Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Austin, Texas; Manhattan, New York; Chicago, Illinois; San Diego and San Francisco, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Miami, Florida; Washington, D.C.; Denver, Colorado; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; Nashville, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and dozens of other hot spots. Manhattan sports the largest collection of pedicabs operating within city limits, and the City of New York itself has mandated that approximately 850 pedicabs always sport operating permits issued by the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/html/licenses/131.shtml|title=New York City Department of Consumer Affairs - Pedicab Driver License|website=Nyc.gov|access-date=13 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709014051/http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/html/licenses/131.shtml|archive-date=9 July 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> Pedicabs in the United States seem to have gotten their start at the [[Century 21 Exposition|1962 World's Fair]] in [[Seattle]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.myballard.com/2011/11/07/ballard-remembers-the-1962-worlds-fair/|title=Ballard remembers the 1962 World's Fair|website=Myballard.com|access-date=13 October 2017}}</ref>
