What's A Pedicab Tour Like?
Pedicabs offer the finest in personal tourism. The vehicle holds two adults and two children of up to about twelve years of age. My Main Street pedicab offers bright LED lights front and back, seat belts, rain canopy, and a rear hydraulic disc brake for great stopping power. With the top down, you have 360-degree views, and can look straight up at the hundreds of beautiful buildings that line the avenues of Manhattan.
For warm weather, an open top. For cold weather, heated seats, a carriage canopy and a windproof fur lap robe!
The pedicab experience allows in-depth touring that’s otherwise seen only in walking tours. But why walk when you can ride?
The rickshaw tour is also versatile in a way unmatched by motor vehicles. You can ride through the media center that is Midtown Manhattan, turn north and go straight into Central Park! No motor vehicle has this capability.
And bus tours don’t do justice to any neighborhood in town. For instance, the local tour bus company’s tour of Greenwich Village consists of a trip down Seventh Avenue from 14th Street, then a left on Bleecker Street, with a lone stop at Sixth Avenue.
My pedicab tour, by contrast, has fifteen stops, escorting you through the Village so that you see the oldest and newest aspects of the district, from restaurants and clubs, to stately houses that predate the Civil War. Shop, for instance, in an English grocery store, or have a beer in a writers’ pub once frequented by Faulkner and Hemingway.
