Pedicab Bicycle Rickswhaws Come To Roosevelt Island - But Only For A Short While

As I was walking by the Roosevelt Island F Train Subway Station last night, I was pleasantly surprised to discover what looked like a new transportation option for tired Roosevelt Island commuters on their way home or Riverwalk residents on their way north. Would Pedicab bicycle rickshaws be a new alternative to the Red Bus and walking?

What a great way to get around Roosevelt Island. I thought whoever came up with this idea was a genius!

My enthusiasm increased when told by the very nice pedicab driver that the ride was free but I quickly realized that this was too good to be true.

And it was. Turns out the pedicabs were there to take real estate brokers and agents to a Manhattan Park event.


It's still a great idea.
