Bike-cabs

Lately you can find these devices everywhere in the touristic area of Manhattan. In them, a guy just pedals and pedals to take you wherever you want to go, or to a tour of Manhattan. You should see the kids, usually college students, pedaling like crazy on the streets while a tourist couple admires the city from the seat behind. I think it's the ultimate exploitation, although I believe the rates they charge are quite high and the guys make a very good living anyway. It's just that instead of a step forward, it seems to me it's a step back, as it would to anyone who has read The City of Joy.
