Tuesday, February 27th, 2007
I’m way, way behind on keeping track of my biking milage (something I used to be very obsessed with, as you can see from these posts), but I thought I would least try to make a rough estimate for last year, and then get back on track for this year.
Here are my estimates of miles […]

The foolishness of bicycle helmet laws

Stateman.com:Debate over bike helmets is revived — Study will track bike injuries, with a City Council vote likely next year.
There are certainly days that I’m glad I don’t live in Austin anymore and I started to feel that way when I first read this story. (the foolishness of bicycle helmet laws are best illustrated […]
Pictures from the 2006 OBS Streak
Sunday, September 10th, 2006Taken from: JMBranum.com
These pictures are from the OBS Streak that I participated in. I rode the pedicab (using our new campaign/GPOK advertizements) in the 15 mile ride. I did think about riding the 30 mile, but around 10 miles into the race I was really glad I stuck with the 15 because the pedicab did […]
Racism is everywhere
Saturday, September 9th, 2006
I’m still kinda upset about something that happened last night when I was pedi-cabbing, so I think I’m going to talk about it.
I was crusing around looking for rides (basically when I see people, I ride up next to them and say, “hey, do you want a free ride? I just work for tips.”) and […]
My current pedicab rig
Saturday, September 2nd, 2006
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on the blog, but I switched pedicab companies about a month ago from Brickshaw Buggies to Bricktown Pedicabs (here’s a post that shows pictures of the cabs with Brickshaw). Both companies are good folks to work with, but I made the switch because the rent was cheaper with the […]
The issue of anger and fairness on this blog
Friday, August 11th, 2006
I’m checking email right now at the Bricktown IHOP after doing my pedicab work tonight, but I wanted to talk a little bit about a conversation I had this evening with OKC Police officer.
The officer pulled up to me after I carried a passenger and he and I had a pretty good conversation, in which […]

This week’s pedicab-ing
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006
Well this week has been a strange week on the pedicab.
Mostly it has been really slow because of the heat (I can’t blame folks… it was 112 degrees F in the shade at my house on Thursday, and even at night it was in the 80’s), but I also got some insanely good tips […]
