How big are your feet?

Hello,
Just a quick post, I was browsing the web and checking out a few things about how big peoples footprints are. Now I'm not talking your feet, I'm talking how big the space you occupy on the planet is. Now we all know this planet aint big enough for the both of us, or more to the point there is not enough space on the planet ecologically for all of us. So one day we'll run out of stuff.

It's quite amazing how things add up you see, how much you use your car, is your veg imported, ever take public transport, how big your house is, so the clever people at the earthday network have made a quiz, for people to work out how big their feet are.

Now pedicabs are all about a few things, being fun, being green and being honest, and if pedicabs can reduce peoples footprints all the better, we are dead keen on this stuff, we could have bought bikes from America, they were cheaper, but a few things stopped us, one the bikes from Cycles Maximus are made with love and care, two they are only 50 miles away so will be much greener than shipping or flying bikes from America. It’s a lot of miles to go with three people on the back to equal the carbon emissions from a flight over the Atlantic!

We'd love you to try the quiz and post up what your footprint is, it'll be interesting to see how we are all doing and if we have to work on it! click here to give it a shot

We look forward to the results,
Will

Deposit paid!

As I’m sure all of you who are following the saga of our bank account know, we don’t have it yet, only this morning I spoke to Abbey National about another form which they had forgotten to send us! However, we have decided to get this show on the road, get the deposit paid and settle it all up later on…. So…..

The deposit has been paid, the bikes are being painted this week and we’ll know very shortly when we will be able to pick them up! Then we’ll have a deadline, and when we have that we can do all of those things from the diary the other day, also looks like the bank account will be sorted within a week!

Things are looking up I tell you!!
Watch out folks here we come!!!!!

And hello to my grandmother who will be reading this!

Righto, lots of people have asked how they could subscribe to the blog, it’s taken some time to work it out but with a little help from my brother and his wife I now know.

So here comes the clever bit, first of all open up another window (ctrl+N on a pc and apple+N on an apple mac) then you can use this page as a reference, now try this..

1) type this into the top of the browser - http://www.rssfwd.com/

2) in the box marked ‘Enter a feed URL to subscribe’ type in this - http://mulesforthemasses.blogspot.com/ and then click ‘Submit’

3) the next page will have a box labelled - Enter your e-mail to subscribe to “Mules for the masses” in this box type your email address and click ‘Subscribe’

4) What happens now is an email is sent to your address and there will be a link to click on, this will confirm that you are real and really do want to be told when we have written something new about our adventure.

I hope this helps and look forward to lots of you subscribing!

I drive like a lobster

Funny one that, I drive like a lobster, it's written on our fridge. From all of those words you stick together. Nobody knows who wrote it. "I drive like a lobster'

I hope we don't ride like lobsters! Small update

We still await our bank account, when we get the bank account we can pay the deposit on the bikes, when we do that we can get the insurance, when we get the insurance we can get licensed, when we get licensed we will finally have the bikes, when we have a date when we'll have the bikes we can talk to people about the service we can offer them, and when we have all of that, which is all in place and waits only for the bank account, then and only then will we be able to provide our service and then once and for all see if we ride like lobsters!Simple. We will keep you posted.

What do you think?

Hello,

Just a couple of quick things, finally have moved in to my new house which has a garden! So i was able to sit in the sun with wireless internet, hey, if you have to sit in an office and work may as well make it as nice as possible!
One more thing, without any influence I would like you to look at the picture of the sign below and leave a comment (just click the comments thing at the bottom of this post) on what you think it means. When can cycles use the space? Its been confusing us and we'd like your help.
Hope you can help and that you had a great weekend!
