Fun Green and Honest - A unique endeavour into sustainable environmentally friendly travel.
We are two chaps with a great idea to give the people of our town a choice. A choice to be part of a solution to their own problems of pollution, congestion and recycling.
In short - Providing a pedal powered, zero emission taxi, freight and recycling service, keeping things simple and fun, honest and green.
This blog will document our journey, we want you to be a part of it.

The single speed arrives
It's here and damn it's quick, no brakes, no gears, just a fixed 48-16. It's about as smooth as it gets.

Of course you won't be going on the public highway with no brakes now will you!
its amazing to ride, very smooth, very very quick, the hard bit is taking corners without your pedal touching the ground. It gets very very fruity very quickly when that happens!
I've been following your blog recently and then spotted this article on the Make Magazine blog. I don't know if you know them, but they are an American magazine who publish articles about, well, making things. This one is just saying that tomorrow they're posting a video podcast on how to build your own single speed. Not quite as hardcore as that thing of beauty that is the fixed wheel you've got, but fun none the less.
Oh, well done on the business and your crime fighting. You are doing Hereford proud.
