Valentine's Day

I was lucky enough to be commissioned to give a woman and her husband a romantic ride around Lake Merritt for V-Day. (aka singles awareness day)

The ride itself was nice, though more hurried than I would have liked, since I was a bit late in picking them up.  Of course, it being mid February in the early evening, it was a little cold and cloudy toward the end too.  However, the sunset was nice.  I'd do a ride a little sooner for any future VDay rides. 

For future rides I think the pedicab should spend less time lakeside, and more time on the road, since the cab takes up nearly the entire width of the walking path at some narrower stretches.  I don't like inconveniencing others, including joggers and walkers.  However, for a few stretches it is okay and nicer to be by the lake.

Thank you Sarah & Francisco and hope you enjoyed it!

All the best,
Ken

Old news: attacked by uncouth passenger

I've posted up most of the details of my attacked-while-blacked-out attack on the main bike taxi website.

Read the first and follow-on reports here.

I'll post suspect sketch and other info in the near future.  Stay safe out there people -- lots more unemployed young men running about these days.
