And through the concrete madness of honking horns and beep - beep - beeps, the shuttlecock, the raggedy dog, the yellow - scarved soldiers in green, the docking ships of night and the smog of modernity; silently cruised the noble old
cyclo drivers in shorts and rag shirts, bobbing on forever over their chariots — these three - wheeled rickshaws with a large passenger seat at the front, like a bicycle attached to a wheelchair — visions of serenity and melancholy calm.
Hop into a traditional
cyclo, a three - wheeled bicycle with a carriage at the front for you to sit in, while the
driver pedals you through Ho Chi Minh City.
