I asked one of those pedicab guys 'how much to newark airport?" and he didn't laugh, so they're OUT

No problem. A carriage driver will take you there for only $1,800 (excluding tolls, natch).

because your old annie hall self is LAME

Pedicabs are a nuisance. I witnessed one get off his bike and kick a car door, denting it. Clearly the bike was in the wrong, trying to cross 3 lanes of traffic to pick up a fare.

If I was in that car, that pedicab driver would be in traction.

Get rid of all of them. If you're in Manhattan, walk!

I say get rid of them both. They both annoy me when running in the park. There is nothing romantic about taking a 20 minute carriage ride around central park. Did it once because my wife wanted to do it after getting drunk at our anniversary dinner. I equate the horse drivers with Carnies. I feel gross just walking by them. I have no doubt the horses are miserable and mistreated. If one had to go, let it be the carriages. At least the pedicabs have to work for it.

I would actually be embarrassed to be seen riding around in a pedicab. It's the equivalent to a fanny pack and I heart NY shirt. They're pretty obnoxious. I saw one the other day with a sound system installed under the seat, riding around blasting some god-awful music. At least the horse carriages stick to the park. I say bring on the restrictions. It's one less thing I have to worry about mowing me down as I cross the street. Can you imagine dying from a run away cart full of tourists hitting you? I'd like to die with a little bit of dignity. Lol!

Just how many people have been mowed down and killed by runaway pedicabs, pray tell? This is just wild conjecture off the top of my head, but I think you might want to worry a bit more about the cars on the streets.

It was actually a joke, but clearly it went right over your head. And stop using the term "pray tell." It makes you sound like a douche.

Gee, I notice you didn't tell just_saying that it went over his head. You weren't joking. You hate pedicabs and tourists alike.

And writing "douche" makes you look like a idiot. You don't need to worry about dying with dignity. You have none to begin with.

fwiw - "wild conjecture" is usually not the way to go.

Get a grip. Why are you worrying about your image and whether or not you die with dignity?

Besides the carriage horses don't stick to the park. Most, if not all, the accidents have occurred outside the park. One recommendation in the city controller's audit was to confine the horses (along with their housing facilities) to Central Park. That would enable better oversight of the horses as well as the drivers.

My point is they're tacky. And who doesn't care about dying with dignity?

Back to the actual issue here, I for one am very excited to see the carnage in central park this weekend. These have been completely out of control for the past couple of years

Why wait until the weekend when there's NASCAR?

There are 1,000 pedicabs in NYC? I find that very difficult to believe. Some of them must be invisible pedicabs. How did the city come up with that number?

I basically don't have anything against most pedicab operators. They are pleasant and not afraid to work hard for their money--unlike the carriage horse drivers who are ripping off dumb tourists. Where do they find those scumbag drivers? They act like street thugs.

Pedicabs are the worst form of human trafficking.

but i am a mere 17-year old boy who works in a halal slaughterhouse in the bronx

is there no way for us to be friends?

Hipster, you've overgrown your hip look. Time for u to bathe and work. Aging hipsters look more pathetic than those so called crazy cat ladies
