Joel Reyes, 51, has been a pedicab driver for 15 years. He works seven days a week to raise his five children as a single parent. 

Pedicab is a combination of the words "pedal," referring to how the bike is powered, and "cab," referring to the sidecar that ferries people. 

Despite the laborious work and his gradually aging body, Reyes said he will continue to do the job if he has the chance, and will invest all of his strength into his work.
