New York Central Park Pedicab Tour

I am an NYC licensed tour guide (1 of only 2 that I know of) and perhaps the last person actually pedaling their pedicab. Everyone else has hidden and illegal motors. Cheaters?
I've ridden a pedicab since 2004 after deciding I hated office jobs. I'm from California but got my History/English degree from a small college outside of London. I now ride a pedicab for extra money and exercise and pursue various creative pursuits on the side.

Meeting Point

1411 6th Ave

1411 6th Ave, New York, NY 10019, USA

I typically meet people at this Starbucks a block south of Central Park so they don't have to go through a gauntlet of pedicab drivers pretending to sell horse carriage rides.
