I've seen the rates posted on the sides of the pedicabs in Central Park, and they are fairly steep - a few $ per block. The article says they are allowed to set their own rates, but at least in CP, they all seemed to have the same rates.
I think they're annoying, too, especially when they take people up Cat Hill on Central Park Drive and then return to the 72nd St. entrance via the pedestrian pathways.
