Kathy Prentice from Media Life Magazine said: "Billboards attached to pedal cabs, or pedicabs, are rolling out in markets across the country after launching on both coasts over the past decade. Signage affixed to the sides, back, canopies and even the roll bars is visible to pedestrians in financial, shopping and recreation districts as pedicabs shuttle their passengers to these desirable destinations. These rolling billboards can venture into areas where traditional signage is restricted." 

From New Orleans to New York, San Diego and San Francisco your can have pedal cabs advertising.
