I have a side job, well, actually i don’t have real job; i have three side jobs that amount to a lot of work. anyway, i ride a pedicab here in beautiful downtown muskegon. this year i got a main street “broadway” pedicab. this is the king of pedicabs in the u.s. and it shows. I was never as happy as when i rode this yellow monster. I put almost 300 miles on it this summer and it wasn’t bad.

It has seating for three, so you can haul the whole family around. it’s got good brakes and is, over all, a smooth ride. the guys and girls at main street are super cool to boot. one of them even dropped off my pedicab on the way to his family reunion, i mean, come on – that’s awesome! i keep meaning to send them some shirts to thank them, but you know how getting sidetracked goes. if you’re going to buy yourself a pedicab don’t mess around and buy some cheap sh-t from ebay (ahem, not to say that i’d ever lower myself to such a depraved state), spend the cash and get one of these. they’re worth every penny.
