Cargo

So today is the end of the second week of running cargo and it has been brilliant! At the mo were just moving stuff for some council departments but shortly were running some free trials for business in and about the Shire.

Has been very exciting, and the response has been great. We've shifted hundreds of files already, so have helped lots of people hit targets and helped the general public see what they want, quicker!

Thanks to everyone who waves, cheers, beeps!

Hereford Pedicargo Arrives


Next monday is an amazing time for us. It's the official first day of trading for Hereford Pedicargo!

Our aim is to provide an emission free cargo service, enabling business and local authority within Hereford to have access to a facility not only aimed at reducing their short journeys and emissions, but also aimed at increasing their productivity and reducing the labour cost involved of sending an employee across a congested town to deliver goods.

Not only will companies benefit from quick efficient carriage of their products to other local companies but they will also be able to reduce their carbon footprint! Bit of a Win Win!

We have a small contract of provision to the town Modern Records Unit, so if you order a planning file or drop off planning documents and building samples as of Monday, we'll be taking them around. It's been a real problem for the council not being able to move stuff quick enough. So with us on board they'll hit more targets the tax payer will get a better service, there will be less cars on the road and less pollution in the air!

Let us know what you think by leaving a comment and feel free to tell everyone you know. The next six weeks we'll be doing trials for companies who could be keen on this sort of provison and looking to increase who we run cargo for.

Like the Pedicabs, Pedicargo vehicles are often much quicker than a car or van over short urban distances. At four feet wide and just over eight feet long they can squeeze through gaps and also, being cycles, they are allowed to use the cycle paths of Hereford. The bikes themselves are powered purely by the rider and can haul up to a quarter of a ton. We aim to provide a week time service, year round, working between the hours of 8am - 6pm. This will allow us to effectively provide a same day delivery service.

So if you see us about give us a toot, and if you think you know anyone who might benefit from our service ask them to get in touch - will@herefordpedicabs.com

Exciting times!!

Well done DAZ and LUKE

Last weekend was brilliant. I rode with Darren on Friday and then on Saturday something marvellous happened. Luke and Darren rode. That’s the first time the Pedicabs have both been out without either Ben or myself riding.

I was able to go for a few beers and catch a Pedicab (yes I did tip) with my friends. Then from inside the pub I could see the bikes working . It was amazing, to think how far we’ve come in such a short space of time.

The guys loved it too, they earned plenty of cash and had a great time, we’re lucky to have such a good bunch working for us.

I personally put it down to our excellent staff meetings!
