Pedicab Drivers Save The Day!

070710pedicab.jpg Insisting they're "not all a bunch of lawless renegades," the Post reports that three pedicab drivers helped catch a robber trying to make off with keys and wallets from a restaurant yesterday. The three men were parked near Petrossian as Neil Reed walked in and asked to use the bathroom. A manager then caught Reed going through her office, and a co-worker attempted to stop him, getting punched in the process. The manager ran outside and asked for help, and our heroes came to the rescue. The three pinned him down until police arrived, when Reed was charged with robbery and grand larceny. And what's really amazing is that they pulled off the citizen's arrest without any help from the Spider-Man rickshaw driver!

    Pedicab drivers are great.

    Once I had to get to a job interview and couldn't catch a cab. Not only did the pedicab get me there on time but it got me cross town while traffic was at a near stand-still. I ended up getting there on time and getting the job. Best $20 I ever spent.
