Midwhay

Last Saturday morning we bundled the bikes over to Hay on the back of a borrowed trailer in the early hours of the morning and set things up ready to go.

We're mid way into the festival now and so far it has been excellent, we'll give a full update when we're all done. We've got tales of celebrity, had plenty of adventures and we've had a tonne of laughs between us all.

We think we'll hit almost 3000 customers by the end of the week which will be the same as about 100 of the shuttle bus journeys that go into Hay. We've been surprised how well we've settled in and hope this might be the start of a great friendship with the festival.

Right now I've just had a message telling me that Maureen Lipman wants a lift into town to go shopping and did we not realise we had Arthur Smith on the bikes last night!.... All I can think about is trying to stuff enough food into me to keep me going for my 4-10pm shift...

Grow slow grow strong. 4 years strong.

We're four years old today. It's crazy, looking back through the blog we've done so much.

So many great things, so much fun, big achievements, awards won, records set, boundries pushed, cultures changed, environmental benchmarks set... and the best bit.. it is still as exciting as the first day.

Thank you if you use our Pedicabs, thank you if you recycle your waste with us, thank you if you send parcels with us or the companies that use us. Thank you for listening, thank you for believing. Thank you if you are our friend.

The economic climate is tough and it has been tough growing in these times, but we've done it, bit by bit, making considered developed choices, listening to what people want and believing in our hearts. We've grown slow and we've grown strong.

Here's to the future. A fun, green and honest future.

Matt takes a detour..

'Yeah I reckon we'll get through there...'

Another one for the fleet.

We picked up another trike today, second hand from a guy called Rickshaw Phil.

We've called it Big Roger.

Long live Roger and all who sail in him...

For forks sake..

So the high tech, futuristic, mono blade fork on the 8 freight bit the bullet last week.

We replaced it with a good old fashioned bit of steel. It took a bit of welding and a spot of grinding but we got there in the end..

Bike cannon...

More bags!

Another huge delivery of paper sacks for our recycling for businesses programme. This little lot will be filled up with about 90 tonnes of paper!

Directors Meeting.... pedicab style

Ben and I stuck our heads together last night to have our big grown up director level accounts type meeting.

Bit serious that so we turned it into a Chide - a chat and ride...  although it turned out to be more of a Rat. Still the important things got said (most about Ben's new bike...) and we got a storming xc burn on.

All meetings should be like that..

Maintainence days...

They are long...

Bike delivery

Wheelie cool..

Bike collection
