Un repos bien mérité - a photo on Flickriver

            Old-Delhi (Inde) - Vélo-pousse est un métier terriblement physique et épuisant. Il n'est donc pas rare de croiser des chauffeurs de vélos-taxis faire une petite sieste entre deux courses. Un repos d'autant plus nécessaire que le jour où cette photo a été prise, la température ambiante dépassait les 40°.
Cela dit, j’ai vu à de nombreuses reprises des « vélos-pousseurs » dormir la nuit sur leur véhicule à propulsion humaine. Certains avec qui j’ai pu discuter m’ont confié qu’ils étaient trop loin de chez eux pour rentrer. D’autres dormaient devant chez eux car ils n’avaient aucun moyen de garer leur outil de travail pour éviter un éventuel vol. Et puis, il y a ceux qui n’ont ni maison, ni famille. Leur vélo-pousse est à la fois leur moyen de subsistance et leur « logement ».

Old-Delhi (India) - Cycle rickshaw is a terribly physical and exhausting job. It is therefore not uncommon to come across these bike taxi drivers taking a little nap between two races. A rest all the more necessary since the day this photo was taken, the ambient temperature exceeded 40°.
That said, on numerous occasions I have seen “push bikes” sleeping on their human-powered vehicles at night. Some people I spoke with told me they were too far from home to return. Others slept in front of their homes because they had no way to park their work tools to avoid possible theft. And then there are those who have no home or family. Their cycle rickshaw is both their livelihood and their “housing”.
