Drivers of Cambodia's cyclos, or bicycle taxis, say security guards around city's markets are chasing them away, making it difficult for them to earn a living.
The drivers have also accused the guards of seeking protection money.
An industry survey shows there are more than 1,200 cyclo drivers in the capital Phnom Pehn who earn around 8,000 riel or $US2 a day.
Most say they cant afford to give the guards money and are powerless against them.
They've called on the Cambodian government to intervene.
