They're often parked in Covent Garden; I guess they're hoping to pick up tourists tired after walking around the market. It's rather surreal coming out of, for example, a Wagner opera, to have one's ears blasted by Abba, which seems popular with these rickshaw riders - and, presumably, their customers. I've no issue with Abba's music, I just prefer to decide when and where I might want to listen to it, and, personally, if I were making a compilation list, tape or CD I wouldn't mix Abba and Wagner :-)
