Right.
Enter the Peddling Bulls Bike Taxi Service, a new Durham based company endeavoring to make the city more pedestrian-friendly. Downtown Durham is already celebrated as a foot-traffic friendly place by the website WalkScore.com, whereon addresses in that district rank very high.
The Peddling Bulls ownership recognize Durham's commitment to environmentally friendly transit solutions, like the Bull City Connector, and that the growing economy make a perfect venue for the company to provide pedicab services to both residents and guests.
These pedicabs are a convenient transportation option and are looking forward to shuttling fans to and from activities from ball games to performance, and more. They are also working to offer partnerships with local businesses through promotional, or service-based, opportunities. The company is also pleased to provide new employment opportunities in Durham.
The company was founded out of love for Durham, according to founder Michael Valentine. He hopes that Peddling Bulls will become yet another attractive aspect of this evolving community.

Do you mean to call them the Peddling Bulls? Or did you mean to say pedaling?

ReplyDeleteWe've been receiving a lot of questions about our name, so we've decided to add a little explanation behind our reasoning of choosing "peddling," over the more obvious, "pedaling":
The two words serve as homonyms of one another (same pronunciation, different definition). Like Durham itself, we wish our brand to reflect the diversity we find so appealing here in the city. Peddling Bulls is more than just a fleet of 'pedalers.' It also serves as a promotional platform, a way for local businesses to communicate with one another, an extension of values we see inherent in the Bull City, and another way for the city to unify on the streets, whether that be in downtown or in our historic Tobacco District. When spoken, we think of the more obvious association, the bike rickshaw. When seen, we notice a broader, more varied understanding, another vehicle (no pun intended!) through which the city and its people can express themselves. Come on board!
