Manhattan —
Pedicabs aren’t just for tourists anymore: Beginning next month, people in Harlem can come on and take a free ride.
Amir Chizic, owner of BicyTaxi NYC, is sending 10 pedicabs uptown to offer free trips within 20 blocks of 125th St.
The gratis rides will be supported – at least for the first three months – by advertising, he said.
“It’s such a good thing for the environment, you know?” said Chizic, whose business currently caters to the midtown tourist trade.
