More working cyclists

I've been amazed at the number of pedicab riders there are in this city. It was recently estimated that there are around 400 pedicabs operating in midtown Manhattan:


I've been wondering how good a living riders can make with so much competition. I did see lots of empty cabs looking for a fare:


I even saw a few girl-powered pedicabs, which I thought was very cool. Ladies, what better way to tone those legs for swimsuit season?:


Some of the cabs sell advertising as well. I thought this full-canopy recumbent cab was one of the sharper-looking pedicabs in town. These are operated by BicyTaxi:
