====Philippines==== {{See also|Motorized tricycle (Philippines)}} [[File:Pedicab at Catarman, Northern Samar.JPG|thumb|upright|Passenger pedicab in [[Catarman, Northern Samar]]]] [[File:Heavy tricycle transport.jpg|thumbnail|right|upright|''Traysikad'' used for cargo transport]] In the Philippines, it is called a '''pedicab''', '''traysikad''', '''trisikad'''—or simply '''sikad''' or '''padyak''', from the Philippine word meaning to tramp or stamp one's feet. It is made by mounting a [[sidecar]] to a regular bicycle. They are used mainly to ferry passengers short distances along smaller, more residential streets, often to or from [[jeepney]]s or other [[public utility vehicle]]s. They are also used for transporting cargo too heavy to carry by hand and over a distance too short or roads too congested for motor transport, such as a live pig. During [[rainy seasons]], they are useful as a way to avoid walking through flood waters. Along with the [[jeepney]], the [[Motorized tricycle (Philippines)|motorcycle-powered tricycle]], and the engine-powered [[kuliglig]], the open-air pedicab provides shade when needed.{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}}
