Why ride them when there is London Bus for less than £2? I guess it's a tourists thing. I always wondered how much they cost. Thank you for covering it

This guy you are interviewing seems very fair. I ride regularly on those bikes and have a conversation with a black rider and he explained to me and my wife that sometimes he’s waiting for hours just for one job plus he said the government gave them a 250 motor which is hard for them to ride. People look at these guys like they are nobody’s so they expect them to charge pennies. The guy also said because if the weight the bike carries on a regular they have to have them repaired weekly which is costly. You are always gonna have a few people that takes the piss but this Jamaican sounded man to me sounds very fair and upfront. These Louis Vuitton bags and shoes probably cost 100/200 to make in Pakistan,India and China yet people spent thousands on them and don’t complain. Leave the guys alone to make a living for themselves and their families they are doing a a hard job. If you can’t afford it jump on a Uber it’s two complete different set up.

I did meet a chubbyish Indian guy with glasses a couple of years ago and he used to be the cheapest. He charge based on distance, it was something like £5 a mile, it it was less than a mile and a hal he used to do it for a fiver still. He told me the other riders used to threaten him because he undercut them so much but compared to a bus he was still a rip off.
