When I went to the Alamo in San Antonio, this one sheriff told me and my dad, that the army who sold the building to the state of Texas made a deal that until the end of time no buildings are allowed to cast a shadow on the Alamo
Awesome interview & career exploration. Love that he was open to doing it and talk about his experience. A huge plus that he doing it with a bike - very sustainable. Wishing him the very best!
I learned the hard way. Always ask for the price of anything. I had an idiot in time square try to charge me $200 for taking 3 pictures of me and my date and Photoshopping them onto a magazine cover. He had the listed price obscured from view, and me stupidly thinking the price would be reasonable, I didn't ask.
@hearditfirst8010 LMFAOOO im sorry this is hilarious 😂. first rule of NYC: AINT SHIT FREE. And if it is, YOULL PAY MORE FOR IT LATER 😭. Do not ever accept free things off the street from anybody here. Unless you're walking g through like Brooklyn or some shit and you see like...books or clothes or something outside that people want you to take. If somebody offers you anything say no and get the fuck away from them lmfaooo ESPECIALLY THOSE SWEET LIL OLD ASIAN LADIES WITH THE BRACELETS AND EVERYBODY IN TIMES SQUARE 😭
@hearditfirst8010 you're lucky tbh because they chase people and will harass you until you pay them or delete the photos it's crazy 😭😭 everybody hates them lmfao
@@theresapebbleinmyboot Lol he knew not to mess with me. I stood my ground and called his bluff to call the police. I'm not the person to mess with. I ended up giving him like $40 for all 3 pics I think. Oddly enough I don't think my date liked that. I thought she'd be proud that I stood up for myself and avoided being scammed. It wasn't about the money for me, it was about the principle. You don't spring a price as steep as $200 on someone without informing them first and getting an agreement before production.
@@tonyantonio2He's not driving for the whole 10hrs. He probably drives a total of 1 hr a day. The rest of his time is spent waiting for customers, which he uses to make more money by showing tourists around
I love this guy. He could’ve quit and changed jobs but he enjoyed it so much he decided to make it his career. I’d 100% go find him just to ride with him
Yo love yur compassion, patience, historical knowledge great energy, and thinks it’s a great business idea . I would pay and take a tour through the city.
60-80k if you live in downtown New York isn't a lot. The reality is that many, many people live an hour or more outside the city limits and drive into work every day. He said he pays 300 a month to store it and has been going for 15 years-- he's probably okay bud.
@rustyburger i have a few e bikes, the batteries and motors have come a very long way. I ride 60 miles on single charge, i doubt this man covers that much in a day.
Such a solid guy just rides a bike around all day. I ride BMX song. New York is fun just a ride around. Hopping up curbs doing a little tricks here in there Philly to where I’m from same thing, but Philly is not what it used to be and anybody who rides Bmx or Skate Board‘s will agree with me, but this seems like a pretty cool job, I sure do miss the old Philly though lol parks gone City Hall is gone and now municipal gone 😢 there’s no love in Philly any more juat yuppys hipsters and shit I can’t even say the word and it’s not rasest but you know what I’m talking about they destroyed Philly 😢
I know a kid that built his own and he is making a killing! He puts it on a little trailer when he isn’t giving rides in SF, and he’ll drive to different fairs and festivals. He even does a month long evening Christmas lights tour for families around certain neighborhoods and he is completely booked for the whole month by nov! One of the few professions that has hardly any overhead!! Very cool!!
❤️We *rarely hear,&see a Man who Loves his job This *Man is so sincete&pleasant just appreciate people as him hugs💯❤️Flint Michigan you got *bater! awesome@
He's a nice, hardworking individual who turned his high school summer job into a lifetime career that he enjoys. May God continue to bless him with success and his family as well.
Guides with a fun personality and where you can tell they both enjoy what they do and are well informed on a wide variety of things are insanely fun and interesting.
So 100% transparency, I stumbled across your video about the guy who climbs buildings and thought "this guy is a ripoff of Daniel Mac, but I clicked your profile and have watched down to this video and I take that back, you've got an original spin on it and I really do enjoy this "clocking in" series and really enjoy the videos man, you got me hooked and I hope to see some more cool and diverse things, also slightly jealous of the experiences haha, I've never lived in a big city and could not do this where I live. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching and liking 👌
I’ve been to the city numerous times and I always wanted to take a ride, so finally myself and now my ex went. The gentleman I had gave us a quiz about America and NYC. We were both in delightfully shocked! I was shocked because he’s an African immigrant who’s been here for 7 years and he knew things about America that most Americans who lived here their whole life wouldn’t know! And he was shocked because most of the Americans he had given rides to didn’t know the answers to their countries history! We had a great conversation that he actually went over our allotted time by 15mins. GREAT conversation! “Gary” I hope you’re doing well my friend!
I'm a film student and for our finals we had to make our own documentaries. I remember one of the other groups tried doing one about these guys and they couldn't for the life of them find one friendly enough, willing to be filmed, or even just have a conversation with them like a normal human being. This short is better than their entire 10min documentary. They'd probably be really sad if they saw this. 😂
“Make your passion your paycheck” truest shit ever man, I’m 17, had a lot of passions over the years that I’ve just forgotten, I’ve never even considered them as jobs always going for crazy goals to seem respectable only to learn it was never about that

Fun facts on a trip is definitely a plus
You can tell he cares about his job, learning cool facts to tell your passengers is really going above an beyond
Facts!!

@@dyldog oh that makes sense, because all the tall buildings are spaced far away from it, I never would’ve thought that is why! 🤯

He will be a great owner and do such a great job!!
Help this guy are you for real he earns more than me and not even born their…the west is fully broken 🤬

He knows a lot about the city I can see him becoming successful
He deserves the world!!
Chill bro, that’s not the way you become successful
He’s making 80,000. That’s successful in my books
@@mihai3678but he knows how much the buliding cost can he get rich now?
Bro makes double my salary, he’s already successful 😂
Make your passion your paycheck, that statement will forever change my life

Right on 🎯
cool guy fr
Really that's the spirit. No matter what you do
Facts!!
Cool guy jaw dropping price
I love sleeping. Don’t know how to monetize it. Ok, I will sleep on it
Dudes energy was just pure joy to be alive, many blessings to both of these men🙏🏼
Dude deserves every penny and more
That’s like actually REALLY COOL!
I’m glad you think so!
OMG YES
When I go back to NY I’m gonna look for this guy and give him some business. Seems like a good dude. ✌️
Passion, respect, and motivation. This dudes livin the dream making money doing what he loves! Hopefully he can get that business going!
Hope his dream comes true that’s a hard working motivated man right there!
Me too.!
I love it that he also gives you insight of buildings and areas around you
he is definitely ready to own a tourism company with that hard work and positivity, very realistic dream
This dude is so genuine. I wish and hope nothing but the best for this man
Awesome interview & career exploration. Love that he was open to doing it and talk about his experience. A huge plus that he doing it with a bike - very sustainable. Wishing him the very best!
It never ceases to amaze me how tourists will literally pay ANYTHING without asking questions besides "how much" 😂
These dudes just scam the tourists who are too scared of the subway

Get this man a tourism company
I Love that, make your passion your paycheck. I love this guys work ethic and attitude..He's doing the best at what he does, I respect that 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💓
I’m now going to look for this guy when I visit New York next time.
Love this guy out here, a true entrepreneur ❤
if i go to NY i am specifically seeking out this man, he seems like so much fun XD
This is inspiring! I love this. "Make your passion your paycheck."
Love his attitude and approach towards life. We all could learn something from him
I hope he gets that company he wants he's so kind
$5-$8 a minute? TF
I was going to say thats nuts
Cuz it’s New York ,he gotta tax to survive
People pay it 🤷🏽♂️ he’s getting that bag
That's like a whole day amount of a e-rickshaw driver in India
Tourists LOL, and they get that $ too. I wouldn’t pay it though, I like walking from 59th to Harlem.
Broooo 8$ a min 80k a year🤣this man is earning better then people in switzerland
10 hours a day
@@tonyantonio2He's not driving for the whole 10hrs. He probably drives a total of 1 hr a day. The rest of his time is spent waiting for customers, which he uses to make more money by showing tourists around
@@hearditfirst8010bad math. He drives 266 hours a year
He did say that most of the time the guys are idling because it’s so hot. So it’s pretty reasonable considering he’s not driving 100% of the time.
*THAN
He definitely deserves his own tour company he seems like a nice respectful guy who's got the fun facts that tourists must love

Senegalese for sureee😂
Yo love yur compassion, patience, historical knowledge great energy, and thinks it’s a great business idea . I would pay and take a tour through the city.
Corrupt greedy government, even trying to squeeze money out of the pedicabs
?
It’s the insurance company?
@@component9008what about the licence from the state to drive a bike?
I noticed that 300 a month means he has to make it work
They squeeze money out of the little guys but they give big breaks to the 1 percent. Reality of capitalism
Mad props to the guy 🖤
He doesn't just get paid for the ride but for his knowledge as well. Great job brother, I love seeing this. Hard work pays off. Much love
60 k in ny is nothing. At least hes a hard worker. We need affordable housing.
Yeah he’s a hard working and still prolly living check to check😢fck democrats
@@NewsWatchAinew york is new york dude. democrat or not that shit is overpriced living.
60-80k if you live in downtown New York isn't a lot. The reality is that many, many people live an hour or more outside the city limits and drive into work every day. He said he pays 300 a month to store it and has been going for 15 years-- he's probably okay bud.
Idk what kinda lifestyles you dudes are referring to lmfao, you can live off 60k, you dont have to live in Tribecca or downtown lmfao.
@Hoopgenie brother where can you find a place in NYC that's not a closet for less than 2000 a month?
The Hustle is everything 🙌🏽
That is incredible. That’s more than many doctors in the UK.
it depends on where you are. 60-80k in NYC isn't great but it will do. Anywhere else it will do just not in the city
That pedicab driver seems like a super cool/chill dude 💯just happy & enjoying life
Get that man an electric bike conversion kit please
@rustyburger i have a few e bikes, the batteries and motors have come a very long way. I ride 60 miles on single charge, i doubt this man covers that much in a day.
What a hustler. Absolute legend
Tourism is always a word I’ve had to be careful with because one wrong turn and homeland security knocking at your door 💀

Bless this man
I need to know what insurance covers on that for $1700 a year
Nothing that's just the city "allowing" him to do it you should see how much they charge hotdog venders
@@Corinari that’s insane
@@mikemoerena4337 look up hot dog vendors some of the spots charge the vendors like 100 grand a year for the privilege to sell hot dogs lol
