Los Angeles’ Transportation Department did do some really good research on pedicabs when looking to regulate pedicabs.
In the following document if you scroll down past some of the antiquated pedicab rules that are currently in place, you will see a great deal of good research of the various cities pedicab programs around the country.  It […]

Los Angeles’s Transportation Department is considering rules to allow pedicabs to operate.  Unfortunatly they are considering the reququiring that passengers wear helmets and seat belts.

The following is my response to these proposed rules:
Studies have shown that cars pass bicyclists with less room to spare when the cyclist […]

Pedicabs are regulated in many cities around the country.  Below is a collection of a few city codes that cover pedicabs.  This list is by no means complete.  If you know about other cities’ regulations please post a comment with a direct link, or if a direct link wont work, feel free to copy and […]

KVUE did a story on Chris Neilsen requesting that the city allow golf carts to operate as ground transportation vehicles.  While I may disagree with some of the assertions, Shelton Green did a good job of showing the issue from all sides.  I wish they would have included more of the interview where I described […]

I want to say thanks again to Marcus at the Austin on Two Wheels blog for bringing to my attention that Chris Neilson is planning to speak at the next Urban Transportation Commission meeting.  Marcus was present at the last meeting.  Chris Neilson will be asking the city to start the process which will allow […]

Chris “Neils” Nielsen has written in to the comments section  of the safety meeting post.  He suggests that his company is hear to stay.  He also suggests that he is operating a legal business, and holds himself to the same standards that Taxi and Pedicab companies are held to.  Chris further suggests that the pedicab […]

 Having been on the road working pedicab events in Washington DC, and Tampa, FL. I have seen how local regulations, physical environment, and patron familiarity can make being a professional pedicab driver very difficult.
In Washington DC, there are no regulations in place to govern the local pedicab industry.  There are also dozens of different Automobile […]

It seems that pedicab drivers in central park have poisoned their own well. Between the conflicts they have had with the Hansom cab drivers, and getting in the way of pedestrians and other park path users, they have made themselves very unpopular. Maybe they could lobby with the park police to get cabs […]

It’s a sad day when a pedicab driver gets thrown in jail while on the job. I wish I knew more about what is going on in NYC.
The video makes it look like a crazy mob scene.  I don’t think the arrested pedicabber’s friends were doing him any favors by yelling at the police.  […]

 After following some of the comments that have appeared on this blog and reading the postings at the yahoo pedicab group I have come to the following conclusions:
 

Pedicabs operate in a very small arena, not so much as a pond, but a bathtub.
If our regulating authorities want to shut us down, they can do so […]

Hey Pedicabbery,
I am pleased and hopeful that the city of Austin transportation department is actively working toward making Pedicabs safer and improving our image with the public.  The Transportation Department is asking for the input of pedicab owners to help develop updated safety standards.  This meeting was initially called in response to the concerns that […]
