  2. This is one way of protecting the environment and keeping pedestrians safe on the streets.

  3. Mr. Pedicab should wear a helmet!

  4. If Mr. Pedicab should wear a helmet, then maybe his passengers should also wear helmets, eh? I wonder if sharing helmets among pedicab passengers is healthy for the scalp.

  5. Helmet for the driver, yes, passenger, no… taxi driver’s are exempt from seatbealts… pedicabs rule, day or night, rain or shine, i prefer them for local shots, better than sharing air with bus riders and train moles… but hey, I’m a NYer

  6. I wonder how the host beat them both?

  7. Umm…what does beating the cab with no passengers prove? Try again with 300 or 400 lbs in the back of the pedicab.

  8. Why not have pedicabs sponsored by the major companies that are responsible for greenhouse gases.This would be one way they could contribute something back to the environment by cutting down on traffic pollution.

  9. I was wondering how the host beat them both too. Also, a good point about it not being quite realistic since there were no passengers in the pedicab. Pedicab still would have won though I think but just by a bit less of a margin.
