We at RR would like respectfully to suggest that the folks at Hudson River Park make a similar effort to GET WITH THE PROGRAM OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT…I mean, investigate pedal-powered alternatives to letting motor weapons (like the two pictured below) loose on one of the city’s most popular and heavily used bike lanes.

Really, HRP poo-bahs, it’ll be better for everyone: Your employees will be healthier, and buzzing with endorphins. You’ll no longer be subject to the screeches of iPodded joggers getting the shit scared out of them by – surprise! – motor weapons whizzing past. To transport tools and materials, you can use a fully weatherproof rickshaw van. To move dirt or plants, you can use a pick-up trike. To treat visiting dignitaries to tours of the park, you can deploy a pedicab (with rain cover, if necessary). As long as the rickshaw rider is properly outfitted with rain gear and a warm coat, there should be no problem. Best of all, you’ll be investing in a transportation strategy as green as the astroturf on Pier 45! Find out more about Revolution’s rickshaw van rentals here.
