The roadways in downtown should be for moving people, I love the fairing on the front at the handlebar level, like it's going to do anything, hilarious. I wouldn't mind getting my hand on a trike version to make a cargo bike. lol. Do I have to wear orange coveralls to ride one those. Even more useless than pedicabs. All for advertising, nothing actually gets moved on the street. BAN 'em.... too dangerous for the likes of our streets. I can see the pedicab trying to pass, or vice versa and then the road rage fist fight between them lol.

Man drivers hate us enough as it is, imagine how pissed they will be getting trapped behind one of those bad boys.
i have to agree; those things just seem like a waste of energy. almost worse than the car-based ones though as they just save the advertiser more money and still get in everyone else's way. it just seems to me to be a reflection of a society of abundance and waste. i don't know who here's been to vegas (i know, it was a "family" vacation, not my choice), but there are guys there who are paid to be out on the street handing out catalogues / flyers for stippers and as they hand them out they scatter them on the ground to people will see them as they walk by. it's just such indugence. rant mode: off.
