I am hoping that the next time around that Chris Nielsen will not put the cart before the horse.  I’d like to see him get permission for his drivers to accept paying fares before he puts his golf carts back on the street and expects his drivers to pay him rent on the vehicles.  Unfortunatly […]

I want to say thank you to Ray Pagan, Bobby Lintel, and Matt Chimes for recovering the missing pedicab and helping to get it returned to me.
Ray saw the fliers that I posted in the area where the pedicab was stolen.  He was able to get it back apparently undamaged.  Bobby picked it up from […]

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 […]

Apparently in an effort to get more detailed street view data, Google has outfitted a Mainstreet Classic with more technology than you can shake a chain whip at.

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 […]

Bri of the JB and Sandy show on local radio station Mix 94.7 FM complained of being charged too much for a ride during SXSW.  She and her friends were asked to pay $10 each to get a ride of .7 miles distance.
John Fisher of Austin’s Roadkill Pedicab came to pedicabbers defense.
Listen to their conversation […]

Hey Gals and Guys,
I have a present for you all.  I have created fairly comprehensive list of official events, like parties with free drink and food etc for all of SXSW.  This could come in very useful for deciding when to go pedicabbing and where to go.  To get you very own copy you just […]

While nothing that gets published on the internet is really ever “private”, there are ways to have a “less public” discussion.  At the request of a couple of people, I have created a members only discussion forum.  While I hope that we will be able to have some free-wheeling off the cuff and candid chat, […]
