Durham is fast becoming a bike friendly city with a profusion of bike shops, cycling clubs and installed bike racks. So then the next logical step in the progression is bike cabs, right?
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.
