Jarring to see a white person doing this job.

I saw this not because I think certain types of jobs should be done by certain types of people, but because that's what I see happening. So even before reading I knew this guy was going to be unusual in all sorts of ways.

Nice read, thanks for sharing.

Haven't visited Oslo, but I thought Norway was largely a white-skinned population. Why would it be jarring to see a white person doing any kind of job, or are you referring to some kind of job division racism?
micromacrofoot•21m ago
It's the classic racism/classism combo... a lot of taxi drivers are foreigners for example because it can be a stressful and low-paying job at the end of the day.
selimthegrim•26m ago
In a lot of US tourist cities, I would say that’s who is predominantly doing it
micromacrofoot•24m ago
Yes, oddly compared to taxis my experience in the US with pedicabs is that they're almost all white men driving. More of a freewheeling low responsibility type of job rather than providing for a family type situation. I wonder what sort of social shift resulted in this?
xnx•1h ago
Quite different than the scam pedicabs that operate in US cities now.
raddan•1h ago
What’s the scam?
Waterluvian•1h ago
They’ll end up charging you like $120 for a 10 min trip by just being deceptive and evasive about the fee structure.

Then you give them the finger and walk away.

It's not that easy. He had those little chains strung across the side exits and wouldn't remove them until I paid. I told him they don't let you out of Canada with that kind of cash but he didn't believe me and laid siege to my day while eating a slice of pizza like a taco. The worst thing was that this was my second mishap with non-combustion locomotion that day. ...I still swear that was not the real Secretariat and that Central Park isn't in New Jersey.
ndsipa_pomu•36m ago
They're popular in London too. The scam seems to be that if tourists don't arrange the price beforehand, it'll be arbitrarily inflated - they don't run a meter like a licensed taxi.

What a great site design. Easy to read, simple layout almost comforting.
jacquesm•21m ago
That's quite the story. I have a family member that spent some time on a taxi and the stories are much the same. Assholes aplenty.
