A 15-minute walk turned into a 5-minute pleasure, and I got to help some enterprising young guys earn some $$ for working hard. <br /><br />- M.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026428674361800185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609346817535564412.post-67701374189803282942009-05-18T08:37:00.000-04:002009-05-18T08:37:00.000-04:00I missed the last bus back to my hotel after the D...I missed the last bus back to my hotel after the Don Henley concert, so I started hiking. I had walked a lot already that day, going to and fro between the north and south concourses of the OCCC,so after being on my feet most of the concert I was pretty wiped out and really dragging. I was so grateful when a pedicab driver came up behind me and with a quiet and polite "Miss? Hop in", invted me aboard. I rode the rest of the way and will look forward to patronizing them again next year. I agree completely that with two conferences touting their sustainability efforts, the lack of official support for this green alternative was disappointing, and I hope to see a change next year..Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665975182059979558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609346817535564412.post-15255181268815062582009-05-18T07:32:00.000-04:002009-05-18T07:32:00.000-04:00These cabs are extremely cool - thank you for givi...These cabs are extremely cool - thank you for giving us the inside scoop (from the spork).<br />Thinking of TechEd 09 Vienna, I just verified that there is a pedicab ("Fahrradtaxi" in German) company in the city, which we will hopefully see in masses at the congress center. I'll certainly summon one and give them a try.<br />Cheers,<br />ThorstenThorsten Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315623092046081275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609346817535564412.post-84561571784396385292009-05-17T22:44:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:44:00.000-04:00PediCab rocks....these folks are rain or shine too...PediCab rocks....these folks are rain or shine too....if SAP wants to follow through on sustainability in Orlando, a little more outreach to the cabby bikers is in order, eh?<br /><br />- JonJon Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282028643223524025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609346817535564412.post-59677747233825551322009-05-17T22:20:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:20:00.000-04:00For what it's worth, I'm totally with you on this ...For what it's worth, I'm totally with you on this one Jim.
