Driver's Wanted . . .

We put an advertisement in the classified section of the Chattanooga Times Free Press and lo and behold, guess what happened?  Our email "buzzzzed" off the hook!  (ok Thor was right about this one!)  We've had a number of qualified drivers apply and it looks like we're moving quickly ahead.  It is exciting to see the variety of people from all walks of life, all ages (above 21 of course), all backgrounds, and all types of current employment who want to drive a pedicab for a living, part or full time.  Pretty cool job - you are self employed, become a professional, licensed pedicab driver through the City of Chattanooga, then you keep what you make.  Email us at BuzzChattanooga at gmail dot com if you are interested.

Almost ready!!

Ok - they were waiting on ONE 
final part and it's there 
(in Colorado) and they are 
packing up the pedicabs
for shipping.  We are 
soooo excited!  And on another note . . .
Attending the first Greater Chattanooga Hospitality Association luncheon of 2011 today, I was thrilled to meet some interesting folks and hear about what's going on in the hospitality industry.  What a neat group of people.  Greg Adkins of the TN Hospitality Association spoke and I certainly learned a lot.  Chattanooga is doing a terrific job hosting visitors to our fair city.  Maybe you know someone who'd like to have a meeting, group, family reunion or convention here?  Visit ChattanoogaFun.com or BringMyMeeting.com and check it out!

Amazing morning

I'm excited about my morning meeting - I was delighted to visit with 11 of the folks at the Chattanooga Convention and Visitors Bureau.  They were helpful, insightful, and excited about the Pedicab Service here in Chattanooga.  The more I learn about our wonderful city (ok, so I've only been here since 1992), the more I LOVE it.  The people who live here really care about what happens, how it happens, and how it impacts everything.  It's going to be great to see what happens next.

Drivers, drivers, drivers!

Last night was fun - we met at the Terminal Brewhouse and got to know a little about a few more of the folks that may drive for us.  If you are interested in driving, please call 657-777-2899 or email us.


We were also excited to have Johnny Brown - grandfather of Chattanooga Pedicabbing - join us for a bite.  It was interesting to hear from him directly about what it is like on the streets - pedicabbing that is.  We are greatful to Johnny for all his support and for him paving the way with the city ordinance.  


It was a great evening, capped off by an email from Tamara at MainStreetPedicabs with some photos of the bikes being assembled!  Looks like we'll get them into Chattanooga late next week - YAHOOO!!

Bikes ordered!

We already own one in white and have ordered five more.  These cabs are elegant with a little yellow pizzazz.  Here's a photograph from MainStreetPedicabs in Colorado where they are being custom built for us.  Thanks to Tamara, Steve and the crew for all their help during this process!

We're Approved!!

Yahoooo!  Thanks to the Chattanooga City Transportation Board and Inspector Charles Topping, Buzz has been approved for operations.  We'll have the first 6 pedicabs on the road in the next 30 to 45 days.  There will be a driver's meeting to talk about getting drivers approved (our first driver was approved at the Transportation Board meeting on Thursday 1/6/11 - Thor, of course) on Wednesday afternoon 1/12/11 at 5:30p at Terminal Brewhouse on Market at Main Street.  We'd love to have you join us if you are interested in the business or would like to be a driver!  Come join us.  If you have questions, please call us at 657-777-BUZZ (2899) or email us at BuzzChattanooga.com
