In this week's A Million Stories, we told you that pedicabs technically made their debut in Philadelphia last weekend — technically, because they still can't operate on Market, South, Arch, Broad, Second, 11th, 12th, Oregon, Pattison, Frankford and many, many other streets.
Wanna see how many, exactly? Look above. Red means the big, bad pedicab is never allowed there. Yellow means the streets are off limits from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and 4 to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Honestly, I could think of a few good reasons to ban pedicabs from Old City, and perhaps even some other neighborhoods. Philly's streets are unusually narrow for it's size and population. And Old City is a complete traffic clusterfuck as it is... (made worse by horse-drawn tourist carriages) especially on weekend. And when I think of some poor bastard slowly dragging around two (probably overweight) people on a pedicab.... it just makes me wince.
