#Pedicabs
I’ve campaigned for years for TfL to be given the powers to regulate pedicabs.

That’s why I’m pleased that pedicabs will now be regulated across the capital, to ensure they meet proper operational standards.
London pedicabs to be banned from charging rip-off fares and blaring music
New rules will also mean rickshaw riders will need to pay for a licence and ensure their pedicabs are road legal.

I hate those loud pedicabs with all the bile I possess but this is pretty cool.

I’ve always been clear that regulation is needed to ensure pedicabs can operate safely in London. This new report shows the majority of Londoners agree.

We’re looking forward to pressing on with the next steps and further consultation, with a view to introducing regulation next year.

We should aggressively impound pedicabs that bike on the lakefront trail

Pedicabs should be a fun and green way to see the sights of our city, but without regulation, some drivers are behaving unsafely and anti-socially.

That’s why I’ll be pressing ahead with new measures to ensure pedicabs are safe and the industry can continue to thrive in the future.
London’s pedicabs could be forced to turn down music and charge by the minute
TfL’s regulation proposals also include enhanced criminal record checks, vehicle inspections and driver ID

Dear NYC: time to ban these obnoxious predatory pedicabs, yes?

Pedicabs should be a fun & sustainable way for people to see London. But without regulation, some drivers are behaving unsafely & charging extortionate prices.

TfL is launching a consultation on how to regulate the pedicab industry to ensure the safety of customers, pedestrians & other road users.

I’ve just experienced the future. Woodland street with no cars. Just people, scooters, bikes and pedicabs. Magical.
June 27, 2026 at 11:29 PM
no because buses exist. I'd also include pedicabs in the ban
September 26, 2026 at 1:26 PM
🛺 No more rip-off fees
🛺 No more blaring music
🛺 More background checks and regulations for operators

From October, pedicabs will be regulated by TfL. Raising standards for Londoners and visitors alike.

Pedicabs Are Not Our Allies
Last night they were all over the flyover honking at people to get out of their way, AND also on the lower level of the link bridge!

Rioters, their age & the wisdom of 'clean slates'.
The 'cocaine referee' & the changing face of homophobia.
It's time to ban 'pedicabs'.
Bird flu & humans.

The future of Oxford Street starts here 🗺️

By the end of summer, the heart of the West End (Orchard St to Great Portland St) becomes a traffic-free zone. No vehicles, no pedicabs, just a world-class destination for Londoners.

Take a look at the first phase of the transformation:

Transport for London is inviting the public to have their say on plans to regulate pedicabs in London for the first time.

Pedicabs will be regulated to make them "as safe as possible, ensuring that they are driven, maintained and operated in a professional way." They're likely to face price caps
January 28, 2025 at 9:36 AM
TfL just announced pedicabs should be regulated in London by early 2026. The challenge is how to come up with a system that doesn't just replace the current free-for-all with a tiny cartel of corporate pedicab operators.

City Council when slow pedaled pedicabs inconvenience drivers: *ban them*
City Council when larger, faster e-pedicabs menace trail users: *crickets*

Checks out.
