Reader comment on:
Pedicab Industry Could Soon Be Pedaling With Restrictions
in response to reader comment: Restrictions okay within moderation

Submitted by Hugh E Webber, Dec 14, 2006 11:10

Over 50 pedicabs (tricycles) and pedalcabs (bicycle-drawn trailer-cabs) serve downtown Orlando, Florida. The City Commission is now reconsidering its second draft of a bike-cab ordinance; it is needed.

I own and operate a pedalcab in Orlando and in the International Drive resort district; I have a perfect safety record and in Florida's flat terrain have found no need for extra rear brakes. Many trike cabs also operate safely without the need for additional rear braking systems. I continue to assist the police legal advisor and City Commission in writing a sensible ordinance for Orlando bicycle cabs.
