The Padyak or pedicab, traysikad or sikad is a manually-powered
form of transportation, usually for short distances.
It is made up of a bicycle attached to a sidecar and has a capacity of
two to three passengers. Pedicabs commonly operate in subdivisions or
urban communities. "Padyak" and "sikad" literally mean "to pedal".

Tricycles are built in a variety of styles, which differ
from city to city. In Pagadian, tricycles stand out for their unique design.
They are commonly inclined at 25- to 40-degree angle. The design allows the
