Picking up Trash with Pedicabs
BY NICK BOHNENKAMP
Of all the things happening during the DNC, I have been given the task of rounding up a group of volunteers to pick up trash, using pedicabs, from the seven FreeWheelin’ Way to Go bike stations in Denver. And let me tell you, it’s pretty rad. It’s all part of the 1000 Humana/Bikes Belong bikes that are now in place. The picture is of me getting rad on the pedicab. These things are so much fun to ride.


This is perfect! We tried a modified version of this last summer to deliver 1700 lunches a day to disadvantaged children of Amarillo. Our version was a trailer towed by a bike, homemade and a little clumsy, but it worked and saved us about $500 each week in fuel. I’m praying right now for a couple or three of these for this summer. Check out our website to see ours in action.
