ceebeegeePedicab driver shows his ass, caught on film by Fox news.
In addition to slowing down traffic for a useless function (pedicabs are strictly for tourists, they should stick to Central Park), this guy is apparently ridiculously thin-skinned. Getting honked at is part of the fabric of Manhattan traffic. If you don't like it, get off the streets or flip him off--you don't throw shit. You don't go ballistic, throw a hot drink through someone's window, then after getting the beat down you deserve, throw a garbage can at the other guy (missing wildly) and then try to make a getaway by pedaling against traffic and then on the sidwalk to avoid the cops.
What a complete fucking loser. Generally speaking I loathe manufactured class warfare (hipster vs. ethnic cabbie) but in this case, I side completely with the cabbie, although he should not have attacked the guy.
