Hello all,

I was surprised today to see that austinpedicab.org is at the top of Google’s search results for the search term “Austin Pedicab”.  In celebration of this small accomplishment, I would like to open this blog up to pedicab drivers and business operators in the Austin area.

I have always intended this site to be a community resource.  I have worked to make the site usable and visible to wider world.  Now I am hoping that folks in the in the community will offer up there “2 cents” about the issues that our community deals with: regulation, on the spot inspections, tickets, insurance, making a living as a pedicabber, staying in the money making zone, avoiding and over coming burn out, going independent, dealing with customers, finding advertisers, etc.

I intend to maintain editorial control over the blog so that it stays positive and presents the Austin pedicab community in an accurate manner.  Personal attacks, character assignations, etc. will not be allowed.

I ask that all interested parties who would like to become submitters to the blog give me a call (512-584-9233) or talk to me when you see me pedaling on the streets.  I’ll set up an account with publishing rights for you and we can go from there.

I’m also thinking that a good photo would help readers identify the bloggers who are writing the post.

I will be happy to meet with folks who have never used word press blogging software before to give some training on its quirks.
