A hamster, a Dachshund, the 2nd St. hill and $18 an hour

Carl and Thor went out and rode last night The first fares asked Thor " how much to take us to our car?" Standard reply, we pedal for tips ! They got in the cab and Thor asks, where's your car?  He points up the 2nd street hill and says "Up that hill and over 2 blocks" And away we went (Carl transferred 1 of the passengers to his cab).  The teenage girls were very encouraging going up the hill coaching " your are almost there, you can make it, this is fun!" 

 

A short time later, We took a family with luggage and a hamster to the Hilton Garden in, and another family of 6 and the Dachshund from the convention center to the Aquarium and did a little pedicab challenge on the way to make it more fun.   After this run we took a break and decided to call it a night. 

 

Ended up making some good money, had a ton of fun, met some cool people and of course the beer at Big River was excellent after work.

 

Two cabs working together is definitely the way to go, if not we would not have been able to take the 2 families at all.

Can drivers make money driving a pedicab?

Clipped from a Pedicab Forum

Apparently one can make decent money . . .

WE WANT YOU!

So here we sit, ready to be ridden, blinkers and brake lights working, canopies in order, gears greased - all we need are a few good men and women, ready to ride.  Thor will be at Buzz International HQ today, Sunday 2/20/11, after 4:15p, 220 Chestnut Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402, for those interested to come practice pedaling.


We've been driver training in the afternoons, and it's been a great deal of fun!  We even let our friends sit in a cab to get a feel.  Perhaps this empty spot should be yours?

Who do you know that might like to get exercise outdoors, while talking about downtown Chattanooga, meeting new people and earning some cash?  Is that person you?  What does a pedicab driver look like?

Yahoooooo!! They're here!

We are soooooo excited.  Today a truck from Old Dominion Freight Line rolled up Chestnut Street and Jack and his fellow driver helped us unload five brand new yellow pedicabs.  They look terrific!  Thanks Tamara & Steve and all the folks at Main Street Pedicabs.  We will be "rolling them out" in March 2011.  You can find us near the new Visitor's Center at Broad Street near the Aquarium and Mellow Mushroom and Big River Grille.  Call us at 657-777-BUZZ (2899) for more information.
