The taxis 'drivers' should wear heart rate monitors and charge by the 
number of calories burnt.

[bikeqld] Green taxis






I watched a couple of these 'Green Taxis' (tricycle rickshaws basically) 
in action in the CBD a few weeks ago. Anyone here seen them getting 
around the city? I was not sure if they were a regular service or 
visitors up from south for a promo as I think they have had them in 
Sydney for a while. I can remember seeing a similar scheme down the Gold 
Coast too many years ago trucking tourists around and perhaps even in 
Brisbane back in the mid 80's. These guys were loaded up with 3 
passengers each and were spinning their way up the incline on Victoria 
Bridge using the 'bike lane' there (or is that a 'bike line'?). There's 
no way one of those rickshaws was going to fit in that bike lane as they 
are probably more than twice the width of that lane. Not surprisingly 
the motorists took to crossing the double centre line there to get 
around them to get pole position. Those guys and gals must get some 
awesome legs doing that all day, particularly if they get a few hefty 
passengers.
