Some pictures of the last few weeks.

We are still feeling guilty from the lack of blogging so have put together some photos for all of you to see what we’ve been up to!


Here are the bikes on their way from Bath on a trailer, they were very excited about their future in The Shire.
The bikes arrived at their temporary home outside of Hereford, it would have been too tempting to ride them if they were in town! We rode them in from Canon Pyon under cover of darkness one night!
Once in Hereford the bikes had to go in to the printers to have the vinyls put on, the guys at Dawn till Dusk helped us out no end.
Once stickered up they could be seen by the public so we took a bike to the Courtyard to test it for space for the launch party (12th April 6pm – 8pm). I had some funny look when I rode through the door!
We recruited this Butchers bike, well it was donated by a mate of ours Rob from an earlier Blog, and Tone reconditioned it for us. Four speed dynamo hub! It’ll help for repairs and small deliveries when we start the cargo scheme.
The Bikes now have their very own licenses, I think we may be the first Pedicab company outside of London to have this and it’s thanks to the team at Licensing (Claire especially!) and the Council for being so open minded.
And here we are, last Saturday, stickered, licensed and in our uniform (t-shirts supplied by the great guys at Howies) and ready to head out on a pre launch teaser.

So team, it's really not long to go now, a week thursday! We can't believe it. Thanks for reading and supporting, the best is yet to come and we promise we’ll keep the blog going!

Launch Party

Well you wait for ages and get two blogs at once!


You are all invited to our launch party at The Courtyard Hereford between 6pm and 8pm on Thursday April the 12th, it'll be a relaxed occasion where you can meet Ben and I, see the bikes, hear of our plans and generally support a great project!


We hope to see you all there and tell all of your friends!!

Long Time No Blog!

Well team there are no excuses, I’ve been lazy. No blogging for a while very sorry about that. But we are back and with plenty of news so here we go to start..


I’m not sure where to really start as there is so much so here we go with a list, in no particular order: We have bikes!!, the bikes are stickered up, we have storage in place, we have a bank account, we have uniforms, we have hackney carriage licenses, we have bikes registered as hackney carriages, we have the orders to let us through town at certain times, we have a set evening route, we have well.. we have pretty much everything in place.


So here we are almost 5 months from the start and we are ready to start doing what we set out to do, that’s not bad really!


We have some future plans as well, we want to operate a cargo service during the week and inter office travel scheme. Also it was rather exciting as we had our first call about doing a wedding for someone today!


It’s finally all coming together and it has been and continues to be amazing. Next week we are doing some stuff for TV!


For the time being though I thought I’d update!


More to come now

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!

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.

Bridge over the River Wye

Cycle Hereford are an organisation who promote cycling in Hereford.


I have been in touch with them today and they are understandably keen about what we are doing: ‘Whoa! Bolt from the blue - great stuff - 110% support from us here at cyclehereford.com.’ More of this to come soon but as a friend of Pedicabs I’m sure together we will be able to raise the profile of sustainable travel.


They are also promoting a link to sustrans who are aiming to get funding for a cycle bridge over the river Wye:

‘Hi, Great news for the cycling public of Hereford. SUSTRANS, who build national strategic cycle routes are bidding for lottery money to build a cycle bridge over the river Wye to connect Rotherwas to the north of the city, and as this has been a very long held desire (decades), we at Cycle Hereford are contacting as many people as possible to ask you to please support this initiative. The more individual votes this project gets, the more likely it is to go into the final round and win funding.’
The link can be found by clicking here


If you think it is worthwhile, we do, vote.


Enjoy the rest of your day, Will

Another fine meeting

Just a quick blog guys and girls to let you know that I had a meeting with Dave Tristram, Regeneration Officer and Pat Buchanan Community Finance Officer.


It’s not the first time I had met Dave, you may remember him from earlier blogs. The meeting was to establish if we are eligible for any business start up help, the consensus is that we are and that more so there may be other small grants available to help us provide the service we have planned to roll out and to get up and running.


WE DO NOT WISH TO BE GRANT DEPENDANT!! It is possible we believe to be sustainable through delivering our service and though incentivised advertising on the bikes with combined promotions. It is really important to us that we achieve what we set out to achieve. Lots of companies are scared of having to be sustainable or believe that it isn’t possible. Not us! We want to look back in a few years and prove that not only could we provide our service but people wanted it, it was fun and it paid for itself!


A tall order you may think? Well we shall see, but with all of the help we have had so far and the wave of positivity Hereford Pedicabs rides we are sure it is possible!

Almost there...


Well another week, and no bank account, the forms have gone, everything filled out. Abbey National should be a good bank to go with, no charges you see. It's just we have a problem, we cant buy anything for Hereford Pedicabs until the bank account clears!!


I had a call from the guys making the pedicabs to tell us that our bikes are as far as hey can take them without getting any cash and they have other orders coming in. There modular you see, so if they get an order for a few other types of bikes they can use the frame they have made for us to make the other bikes. What we have to be careful of is nobody having our bikes because we cant get the money to the guys making the pedicabs!!


Oh well... hopefully not long now!! I'm moving house this weekend but if there is any news I will keep you posted!


Have a great weekend!

What we like to call a comfortable 60 inches!

Hello Team!

It’s been some time since our last blog and for that we only have apologies… however.. we have got an awful lot done!!


We have, or will have very shortly, an office and workshop, a company bank account, a coporate image (logo) and a whole host of other stuff. We’ve been good though and taken lots of photos on the way so we can keep you posted. Probably best to begin the weekend before last..


As you know Ben and I are busy chaps, we both have hectic jobs and lifestyles which lead us all over and enable us to do lots of cool things with lots of cool people. It does however make setting up a business together mighty hard, there are forms we have to fill in together, people to meet together and plenty of things to do. This means that we work to dedicated job sheets which we draw up when we can. These always go to pot and are hugely jeopardised by crack pot ideas. Most things though work out alright.


So the weekend before last Ben and I both managed to get together to do a final anaylis of rights of way, we spent a morning with a tape measure checking the things the cabs will fit through and the things they wont fit through. We did however get slightly way layed as Hereford is in flood. Well, we had to ride through the flood didn’t we! Some people had not been so lucky, one chap even got his camper van stuck in three feet of water and lots of trees had come down! We had lots of fun though, on the bikes. The cabs need a four foot gap to fit through and we found a couple of places that they wouldn’t fit but nothing to jeopardise our plans. What we came to look for was something called- the perfect 60- a 60 inch gap, more than enough to take at speed!
Our journey took us all over Hereford and we stopped for lunch in a pub. Where Jo met us and gave us a present for the cabs- fleecy blankets! So you all have Jo to thank when your tucked up and cosy on the back of the Pedicabs! Jo left us and we bumped into Rob had a beer and mulled things over. Things were feeling good!!


I know I always say it but this project has amazed me, the love people have for it, the fun it brings to people we tell about it and the thought in ourselves that people are going to really enjoy using the Pedicabs. For some time we have been looking at a solution for the storage and office locations of Hereford Pedicabs, you may remember in a previous blogs our thought about converting a shipping container? You may also remember a contact at Bulmers.. a one Mr Ben Botwright? Well after a combination of perseverance, velvet tounges , enthusiasm and Bulmers being a bunch of damn nice guys Hereford Pedicabs managed to secure a meeting. So off I went to have a chat to see if they could help us.


Ben Botwright, the project engineering manager and Richard Heathcote, sustainable development manager, spent some time listening to the presentation and chatting about what we need, then something amazing happened. They not only made a proposition, they asked what Hfd Pedicabs needed. Well I didn’t hold back and as a result of them listening and the mutal benefit for all involved we now have lots of great things!


Bulmers agreed to donate a shipping container, help us kit it out with office equipment, place it on part of their site near a cycle path, run electricity in to it, provide our signage and help us with a million and one other things, and all for FREE! WHAT A RESULT, THANK YOU BULMERS!!!Then I got to see the container, and a beauty she was (she’ll be yellow soon). After that a little tour of Bulmers and a chance to meet a few of the guys that will be helping out move the container and all. So there we had it, everything from our initial list of objectives achieved and all because of what we like to call positive association, we all have something to gain from this initiative and that’s what a lot of its about for us. People seeing that they can do their bit and that by doing that bit they have the right to feel good about themselves!


So we are in an amazing place, we are just waiting for the cabs to arrive, that’s a little story in itself (in a bit, be patient). We have everything in place, licensing, an office, storage, a company and now… even a logo!


There are a few other things to add. We are waiting for our bank account to come through, until then we cant put any money in, which means we cant pay for anything which means that the Pedicabs are waiting half finished for our deposit to arrive! This is the frustrating bit, we have the money, we have the infrastructure, we almost have the Pedicabs! We just don’t have the bank!! AAAGGGHH


But other things keep us going, like the folk at
Howies who are going to be helping us with our uniform so its all eco friendly (and its lovely kit!), like the folk at Bulmers, who believe in what we are doing, like all the people at the council who took time to listen and help, like all of the people who laugh and listen to what we have to say in the pub on the street and at meetings, like the people who comment on the blog, people like you, yes you mr or mrs reader. It’s people like you who are keeping this going, who continue to reinforce in us we are doing the right thing. Without you it just wouldn’t be as much fun!! So please keep watching the blog. We think we’ll have the cabs running in March! So we will be having a launch party, you are all of course invited! In the mean time, you all keep being you and we’ll keep on doing our best to get this show well and truly ON THE ROAD!!

‘Little big voice lectures'

Hello all,

We have put Hereford Pedicabs forward to hopefully be involved in a project which brings small companies together to help them learn how to make an impact on the world. There called ‘Little big voice lectures'.



Organisations that go get to learn lots of things. Like how to build a cheap website and get it up and running. How to take a photo that a newspaper would be interested in using. How to edit a film and upload it on to a website. How to write a press release that doesn’t get ignored. How to use the law to take on a big corporation. How to get a government to stay within its own laws. How to get scientific data to prove your point. How to promote your cause when there are so many good causes. How to research your cause when there doesn’t seem much written about it. How to hold a press conference. How do you make sure everyone turns up?


At the end of the day it’s an educational programme designed to equip people with the tools needed in order to bring media attention to the cause they believe in. And the more publicity you get for your cause, the more likely you are to bring about change.


Our sports have taught us to love being out there and to respect the environment that provides our playground. They also give us the motivation to try and do something to protect it.


Who knows better than a surfer about a polluted sea? Who knows better than a mountain biker about clear-cutting forests? Who knows better than a snowboarder about climate change? Even a skateboarder studies rainfall on a daily basis.


But being able to ride a bike or a surf board well requires a different set of skills to being able to use the media to obtain publicity for your cause.


If we want to change things, we need to learn some new skills. We need to learn how to use the media to give the small guy a big voice.


So I emailed the folk who are organising these lectures, told them a bit about us and guess what, they got straight back to us-


'Hey Will and Ben,
Thanks for the mail and wanting to attend our camp.
I have just been looking on your site and think its fab.
We haven’t made any decisions yet and have lots to get through but hopefully you will hear back from me in the next few weeks.
Really great project!
Have a lovely day, its drizzle drizzle drizzle here but we’re chirpy none the less.
Anja x'


So who knows what will happen!


Will and Ben

Monday Morning!

Howdy all!


Monday morning, raining and blowing a gale, real January weather! For days like this we’ll tuck a few blankets in the back of the Pedicabs!


Just had a call from Dave Tristram, Regeneration Officer (Project Development), Hereford Council. Dave and I are going to meet in late January to discuss possible funding for Hereford Pedicabs. To help us get on to our feet (or wheels I suppose) and get rolling. You might remember Dave from out first meeting with the Council, he was the guy with the rad hair!


Ben is back from skiing and champing to get the project moving on, as always we will keep you posted, and any time you want to ask a question or speak your mind feel free to leave a comment.

Life's a funny old thing


I've been back at work this week, in my other job, and it's quite a strange feeling, same stuff different day and then I saw that Headline- Boredom is a pattern and not a reality. And it's true you know. It got me thinking, stuffs only as boring as you want to make it, choices are only there if you choose them. So my job isn't boring it's a challenge, the problems I face will reward me with solutions and all in all there is far more good things than bad things!


So what if lots of people don't see it like that? Well maybe we'll help change that, maybe each day when they ride a Mule into work they'll enjoy it, they'll feel the wind in their face and we'll slap a big old smile on there. I hope it's like that, I hope that we can show people that we can be a brand new choice for them to take, and that it'll be exciting. Just a thought, have a great weekend.


Will (Ben still skiing....bah!)

An Update....

Hey hey hey team!


Sorry it’s been so long, we’ve missed you but boy o boy have we got great news for you!


Just before Christmas, Ben and I had a fantastic meeting with lots of bods from the council who had taken time from their busy schedules to hear about Hereford Pedicabs! There were representatives from Tourism, Licensing, Sustainable Travel and from other initiatives including Street Scene.


They learnt all about what we have done so far and where we plan to go! It was a great opportunity for them to learn about how we plan to be sustainable through advertising and for them to have an opportunity to maybe be some of the first to advertise with us. With a launch planned in March we have plenty of time to secure some potential advertisers but as you lot all know that is not the point of mules for the masses. What we plan to do is to give everyone the opportunity to be part of a solution to all of the problems we face with travel and pollution and for it to be jolly good fun!


One of the highlights was Councillor Edwards popping in to hear about what we are doing, he is involved in all things environmental and was very taken by the idea, so much that he took a copy of the presentation to show to his fellow councillors! Its really great to be part of this you know, and to see how anyone involved can soon be caught up the three mainstays of everything we do, having fun, being green and being honest.


So, the council are aware of what we are doing and are very happy about it. We do however still have things to overcome, one of which is a storage depot


Which hopefully the lovely folk at Bulmers may be able to help us with. A great chap there, Ben Botwight, is looking into the possibility of using a storage container, more to come on this as it unfolds!


So from our great meeting with the council I went to see the Courtyard to talk to two lovely ladies- Lisa Wood and Kate White who deal with sales and marketing. They were a great laugh and took great interest in the Pedicabs. They do, you see, suffer somewhat from Herefords terrible traffic problems, but also have a solution in the way of a major cycle path at the rear which could, given the right transport, ferry people to and from town, and of course there is a promotional nature to the vehicles.


We talked at length about them helping us to launch Hereford Pedicabs and us helping them to promote their rural film festival. Together I think we can have quite an impact and really provide an enhanced service to the lovely folk of our town- YOU!


The Courtyard have a myspace which can be found here http://www.myspace.com/courtyard_hereford - check it out, whilst your are there also check the heroes section on the left…..


From the meeting at the Courtyard we went on to have some other chats with lots of great people and then went to our first annual Christmas Party , fancy dress is compulsory. As you will see from the photo Ben has made a Reindeer and is riding it and I have come as a giant Christmas Pudding. Not practical but lots of fun!!


We hope you also spotted this article-


Since our meetings Ben has been away skiing and I have been working on moving house and going back to work. It is still great to be a part of this and we still want all of you to join us. The bikes are to be ordered shortly and we will also launch a couple of websites which will enable people see a bit more of what we are up to.


The rest of the team are all good, Ghandi is still plugging away (and skiing with Ben at the mo) as are the rest of Ben's family (Ben used to be a ski instructor), all the other folk from along the way are still involved and the net gets cast wider still, with more and more people logging onto the blog everyday, and yes one of my New Years resolutions is to update the Blog more!!


So it’s going to be a great year, a really great year and by the spring you’ll be able to enjoy it in a Pedicab…… Play safe guys, until next time,


Will and Ben

1st Day in the Office

Well team, today has been an incredible day for Hereford Pedicabs, or should I say Hereford Pedicabs Ltd!!


Yeah, that’s right, we are now a registered company! We have also registered www.herefordpedicabs.com and www.herefordpedicabs.co.uk - check us out ( in a few weeks!)!!On top of all that today was our first official day ‘at the office’ as Ben and I are both off for Christmas from work. We have a meeting with all the lovely folk at the Council on Wednesday, some of them we met before, some of them we’ve spoken to and some of them we’ve never met before. All of them have shown and active interest in the Pedicab scheme. In fact I am yet to speak to a person who has not been positive, and it’s great to be able to say that.


Today was a great, as I’ve mentioned before Ben and I are busy chaps so fixing time where we can both focus and dedicate is hard enough, but today was great. Ben cooked chilli bean soup and we caught up on where we are. Everything is costed, all procedures are worked out and we really know where we are.


We fixed a presentation up for the council to let the new people see where we have come from and the people we met last time where we have been since. We can not wait to get in to see the council and we will be keeping you posted!


Play safe
Will and Ben!

Quick Post

Howdy!


Well, December has been a busy month so far. Ben and I are both up to our necks at work but are still working hard on the Pedicab Initiative! As I write young Ben is busily working on our Standard Operating Procedures, a big book full of how and how not things should be done! It will include all sorts of things, things we have learnt from the council, things we have promised we will do, legal things, fun things, green things and lots of honesty and it will be a comprehensive document for any future employees to quickly understand our policies.


It's important that time is taken now on what will essentially shape the rest of this journey, my job has been comparative costing for the service we will be providing and general cost analysis of all things we can expect plus a million and one other things (including this blog!) which are hastily being fitted in to any spare moment I can get!


Together we're a bit of an awesome team, we are fortunate that our backgrounds have enabled us to rapidly progress in the areas we need to, be it policy, marketing or general fun making! So it's a real 50-50 split with Ben and I meeting at whatever opportunity we have to update each other and pass verdict on the others efforts, good and bad!


And of course a big thank you to all of the help we have received from friends and family, and message leavers! Ghandi has been instrumental in number of bigger decisions as have many of you, keep the good stuff coming in, after all this is going to be a great way for all of us to do out bit!


More posting coming soon, I'll try harder to get here more often!


Thanks for reading


Will


Ghandi wanted us to post a picture of some of his great friends who can’t wait to ride in a pedicab!

What a great meeting!!

Hello Blogwatchers!!


First of all sorry for taking so long to get back to you with this blog, we are sure that you have been itching to find out how our meeting went.


Well, well, well (a little more suspense won’t hurt!) It was incredible! Really really incredible! We had the pleasure of meeting four great people, who have great confidence in Hereford and what it can achieve and who seem to think that our idea can work. What’s more not only do they want to be part of it but they want to help us, which is great.


The four people we met with were, Amanda Barton who is the team leader of Integrated Transport, Ben Boswell who works with Amanda and is responsible for plenty of great things to do with the leasing of bikes. Clive Hall (serious but positive!) who is responsible for highways and transportation in the central area and finally but by no means least Cynthia Spaull who is the city centre manager.


We got a photo but unfortunately it was at the end of the meeting, after Clive and Cynthia had left, Dave Tristram filled in (he helps people with money issues) and his crazy hair was just what we needed!


In the meeting we discussed lots of things, we started off with a snappy presentation about us and what we are planning. Then we had a chat about all the things Ben and I and the team from the council wanted to know about the project. We covered most of the things and also loads of brand new topics which will enable us to provide a much more versatile service.


Some of the major points that the council wished to raise were whether we could operate using the existing infrastructure (which we can ) and what help would we need (things like storage, licensing and loads of other practicalities about our professionalism!) All in all it was great and we were able to discuss opportunities for assisting with the Local Transport Plan,
potential cargo services, advertising the council in a positive light and also promoting Hereford on behalf of the tourism office. We also chatted about assisting Ben Boswell with his leasing schemes and inter office travel plans by having the Pedicabs run a pick up and drop of service bookable by council employees.


All in all it was fantastic! Really great, the council not only agreed to help us, but also agreed to believe in us, back us and show us that they care about the policies we have.
We asked everybody to give us some feedback about the idea and they all said it was excellent. It was really nice to hear that they thought that.


We also met two lovely ladies at the reception!
We have things to do, registration, licensing and getting councillors on board and have already got a date for the next meeting! Amanda emailed us this morning -


‘Ben and Will
Good to meet up last week.

I will circulate your presentation to relevant colleagues.

Re Councilor support - I would suggest writing to both the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation (Cll Brian Wilcox) and the Chief Executive of the Council (Neil Pringle), both at the Brockington Offices; requesting support from the Council - you might want to mention
we had a meeting last week.
Hope this helps, hope licensing get back to you soon too.

Re a second meeting we can do 3pm on 20th December - can you? I was thinking of inviting Trish Marsh (Sustainability Manager - responsible for ISO 14001), Janette Barratt (Sustainable Travel Officer - who coordinates grants for companies setting up a Travel Plan), JaneLewis/Mark Jones (Tourism), could you invite licensing if appropriate.

Regards
Amanda’


Great isn’t it, were all doing our bits, and we are all going to be able to do this. So a big thank you to all of you who are supporting us, and we hope that very soon we’ll have Pedicabs on the streets of Hereford!


We’ll be in touch with an update very soon, this is an exciting time for us and we are glad you are part of it.
Ben and Will
