Bikes Bring It: April 2013

Spring Festival Season

Howdy-ho BBI fans! How's business been lately, you ask? I'd say it's doing splendidly. I've just passed the $2,000 mark in earnings for this year, and have been setting records here and there for most earnings in a single night ($183 on Mom's weekend) and most earnings for a three-day weekend period ($345 on Mom's weekend and then $347 this weekend at Palmer Fest.)

I also have been appreciating what a formidable reputation I've made among the OU student body. I get more people calling me by name all the time, more great regular customers, hear myself being mentioned on OU Crushes, have been recorded for Vine and Snapchat, and get lots of gratitude from people who have seen me working or have ridden on the pedicab before. Thanks everyone for sharing the joy of human-powered transportation with me and your friends!

Here are some pics of Palmer Fest. Thanks Sarah Tilotta for taking the first pic for me!

Bikes Bring It Pedicabs in Athens, OH

Bikes Bring It, a bike sidecar taxi service, has been delivering the adventurous and inebriated safely home since 2009. Walking is for mortals. Taxis are boring. Take a roller coaster ride down the rolling hills of Ohio University with Bike Man and be home in a blur.

Bikes Bring It gets the party started. Bike Man will wheel you right to the backyard as the whole party cheers. Experience the streets of Athens, Ohio up close and personal in a way that only a bike can deliver.

With Bikes Bring It, your rickshaw chariot ride to or from uptown Athens is an adventure to any party, something you’ll talk about for the rest of your life. Hail Bike Man on the street, or call 740-229-9719 to schedule a pickup. He usually bikes from midnight to 3 a.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Follow his Twitter feed for his latest move. Safe and reliable, Bikes Bring It will have you home on your couch before the pizza guy delivers.

Bike Taxis Serving Ohio University

(West Side, East Side, Dirty South)

Starting at $1

For donations starting at $1, Bikes Bring It will deliver you safely to your door or the party down the street, whether you’ve drank too many Aquariums or simply need a safe ride home from a good guy you can trust. Your choice to tip graciously or modestly is always politely accepted.

Bikes Bring It also does weddings, festivals, and special events, wherever you need to arrive in style in a way no one will ever forget.

Athens’ Bikeman plays both taxi driver psychologist and bicycle super hero. His human powered pedicab rides should be on every Ohio University bucket list, an adventure of comic book hero proportions.

When Bike Man isn’t pedaling his pedicab, you can usually find him in his bike garage, building his next bicycle vision. He builds customized concept bike designs by commission at http://www.upcyclebikes.com.
