The name may be unfamiliar, but the mode of transportation is easily recognizable. Modern pedicabs got their start as rickshaws in nineteenth century Japan. The human powered vehicle was reportedly invented by an American missionary with an invalid wife. Bicycles eventually replaced humans, and this mode of transportation made it into the U. S. Via the 1962 World's Fair. The popularity has grown since then.
This is a fun and unusual to transport guests. Pedicabs are available for airport pickups. If you have a theme based event planned, or are putting together a holiday bash, drivers can arrive in costumes, and in character, according to your specifications. Specialized requests require advance notice and approval of management. Pedicabs make great designated drivers for those on wine walking tours and pub crawls.
These are great transportation vehicles for weddings. They can carry your family and friends from the wedding venue to the reception in style. Out of town guests can enjoy some sightseeing along the way. You might even decide you want to take a turn around the park before heading for the reception. Onlookers will get a chance to see what the bride has on.
Pedicabs go all over the cities they operate in. If you want to advertise a special event or the opening of a new business, this is a smart way to get the word out. You might take advantage of a local parade or community gathering to advertise your business and offer free rides to kids who will enjoy being pulled along by a friendly bicycle driver.
There are many times when pedicabs can add to a special occasion. You might consider surprising a loved one by picking her up at the door in a pedicab and taking a leisurely drive to a favorite dining spot. You could pick up a prom date, or send guests on a scavenger hunt, in them. Graduations, proms, bar mitzvahs, quinceaneras, and weddings are all appropriate occasions for pedicabs.
You can find pedicabs in most of the major cities in the United States. They are everywhere from New York to San Francisco. Prices vary depending on where you are in the country. The companies are easy to find online.
When you are planning an event, you want everything to be special. If you want to include a mode of transportation, it should be unique, fun, and something your guests will remember. Pedicabs might just fit the bill.
