The Pitch
I've funded this pedicab service as a community benefit project for Oakland. It's expensive to operate properly. I've funded everything out of pocket since 2008. Not that I mind -- it's a fun experiment. But being attacked randomly set us back over two seven grand. (Number updated as of May 2011)

All this said... we'd love to receive your support! You'll get all the benefits listed below...

The Benefits

  • It's endlessly fun!
  • Doesn't pollute our air the way gas engine car taxis do, though we don't travel to SFO
  • Increased perception of public safety
  • Ambassadorship for Oakland: we help visitors and residents find ATMs, good places to eat, drink, party, and then how to get back to the freeway/BART/etc
  • Increase Oakland's cachet. Every world-class city needs a variety of transport services -- and amenities!
  • Locally owned and operated
  • Employs local residents of all backgrounds! (OK, we're still training people, but we're getting there!)
  • We'll list your name in the shout outs! (below)
  • You will improve your karmic standing in heaven/hell/Oakland.
If you love our service, have enjoyed using it in the past or would like to enjoy it in the future, please donate today by clicking the botton below.
