Few things bring a smile to my face like the humble pedicab.
My one and only time as a passenger was in NYC in 2005. Riding among traffic in Manhattan leaving Central Park was a bit scary but it made for a great memory. Hopefully our pedicabs will create positive memories for St. Louis visitors.

A classic case of supply and demand – Denver has 25 companies and over 300 pedicabs: http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_22227236/denver-requiring-pedicabs-have-license-plates?IADID=Search-www.denverpost.com-www.denverpost.com . . Part of the challenge, here, is that our major attractions aren’t that close together and part of it is that parking really isn’t much of an issue.
