Pedal cab peddles rides
Wayne Beckwith launched a new pedal cab business in Eugene, just in time for the Olympic Trials. By KVAL Web Staff
Wayne Beckwith got the go-ahead from the city Monday to open and operate his business called Pedal Junkies. Pedal junkies plan to have four bikes in operation by the Olympic Trials. "I'm gonna carry cold beverages during the trials," Beckwith said. "I was even talking about a stereo system but I decided against it for now at least." He also hopes to give partiers an alternative to drunk driving and gas guzzlers an eco-friendly option Wednesday through Saturday evenings. "They can find us between campus and downtown," he said. "That's the highest concentration of people."
"They want everyone to bike to it and those that can't they want us to take them there," he said. And even though Wayne's transportation business doesn't require gasoline, he still spends money on fuel. "I'm burning calories instead of gas so my grocery bill is going up," he said. |
