One more reason I can't stand pedicabs...

Pedicab 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.

They are actually fighting in the middle of the intersection of Broadway and 53rd Street? Jeez.

Yes, right in the middle of the intersection. Traffic and commuters bedamned, my easily-wounded pride must be appeased!

And if he'd just been riding in the Broadway bike lane in the first place, the whole altercation would've been avoided.
