Funny you mention that. Just today in the New York Times ran the following article about the city wanting to regulate the growing fleet of pedicabs, which look not dissimilar from those on the cover of that sci-fi mag. Here' s a link to the story:

They don't have fancy yellow paint jobs and no windscreen for the driver, but close enough. Craziest part is the $3,600 to $7,000 pricetags. Sounds like a great business to get into -- building pedicabs.
