And You Thought The Ducks Were Annoying

KYW 1060 reports this morning of a new tourist attraction in Philadelphia: The Superbike.

Superbikes are run by the same people who run Super Ducks, and owner Alfred Krawitz said the Superbike is “a bicycle that holds seven passengers. One person drives it. It has a hydraulic braking system. It has a Porsche front end.”

City officials aren’t quite sure about the safety of these so-called “super” bicycles, but they’re not covered any city motor vehicle codes, so Krawitz went ahead and started selling rides on it. Councilman Frank DiCicco, naturally, wants to confiscate the bikes, perhaps so he can ride constituents around his district on them.

But, for now, Superbikes are here to stay. However, we do have a reprieve from at least one of the duck boats for a little while, as the article notes:

Meanwhile, the National Park Service has suspended Krawitz’s Superducks for seven days for aggressive solicitation.

Praise you, National Park Service.
