Pedi-cabs
 

So tomorrow i start my first day as a pedi-cab driver! I'm excited to get paid to ride a bike around!
Anyone else here ever drive a pedi-cab???

Can't say that I have, but good luck and good business.

The closest I've done to a pedicab was that in Boston one time, I was the only passenger on a 7 passenger party bike and the driver and I flew down the street.

one of the local shop owners has one of those, he calls it "the conference bike"

Only got to test ride one after servicing it for a customer. It was a really well made unit, although I can't remember the make. I think I remember the owner telling be he bought it from the builder in Kansas city or some place like that.
He didn't run a pedicab service or anything like that, he just used it to haul his family around.
It weighed a ton, but it was a fun ride.

Edit: I just blew up the photo so I could read the name on the downtube. (These old eyes ya know) It says "Main Street."

Good Luck! I hope you at least break after paying the rent to the company that owns the pedicab.

So how's the pedicab riding coming along?

i ride peddicab here in chicago. ive been doing it for 5 years now. today i rode the chicago marathon. we got hired to carry a film crew so they could film runners. i had a camera guy and director and all there equipment with. ive done alot of long rides but 26 miles a bit much. its still the best job ever. oh and the cab that is pictured above is a mainstreet there out of colorado and are pretty much the industry stander-ed here in the us.
