The increase in pedicabs circulating through the streets of Miami It causes a transformation of the urban landscape that many citizens are already beginning to notice.
As Florida continues to host a notable Hello from Cuban immigrants, the vehicles known as pedicabs, typical in Cuba for their practicality and low cost, are beginning to be part of everyday life in the city of the Sun.
"Sirs, pedicabs arrived in Miami. I thought this was only from my town, but here we have them. A lot Formula 1 GP, a lot of everything, but here we have them: Pedicabs, the solution of the future!" said user Chanchu33, on the social network X.
Among limousines, vans, convertibles and modern SUVs, pedicabs slide slowly, propelled by the efforts of their drivers. Some incorporate small motors to reach greater speed.
Pedicabs offer their passengers a ride under the Florida sun that probably only tourists will like. However, more and more vehicles of this type are being noticed and some people consider them to be a economical alternative versus fuel costs.
Despite the criticism from many sectors that see these means of transportation as reminiscent of an impoverished country, there is no shortage of those who receive them with humor and acceptance in Miami, understanding that the "Cuban disorder" is a temporary phase that enriches the cultural mosaic of the city.
In parallel, the use of low-displacement scooters and motorcycles is increasing, highlighting how newcomers are looking for practical solutions, given the limitations of public transportation and the inability of individual resources to purchase cars.
This diversity in the ways of transportation reflects not only an economic adjustment but also an expression of cultural identity that Cubans carry with them when integrating into new societies.
