my best friend and i were running a muck in the O-A-K. had some strong drinks at mua, as soon as we leave we see this police officer roaming the neighborhood. call me paranoid (and no, we weren't trippin off some recreationals), but we felt he was waiting for us to get into the car and drive away and pop us for DUI. so, we decided to walk down broadway sober up and find some coffee. as we, were standing in front of pican trying to decide what to do and where we could find some coffee.... then we see this guy roll by in his pedicab. he asked if we needed a ride, but instead we asked for coffee and he rode away... sure enough he came back and saved us and took us to 7eleven which is the nearest place to get coffee.

i highly recommend! not creepy, just a man trying to get by one passenger at a time. next time you see him around, hop in and enjoy the ride....

ken has a great pedicab and he does all the work for you, he can make a romantic evening that much better, or just the walk back to your car very easy and quick, so hail him if you need to get somewhere and spot him. (yelp deletes lots of reviews for bad reasons(keyword search), so you really can't trust someplace based on a yelp review)
