Hey everyone

I´m looking for a producer of Limo pedicab or a special Surrey for 10 adults. It existes anyone in Europe? Well , I will apreciate if any information shows up. The only one I shaw,is made in USA and is to far and it will be expensive to bring it overseas.
If anyone has one, and just want to rent it, please came over.We set the price.
What I intent to do ? Pure and simple...I will use them for morning fitness tours around the hotels:) and belive me it will be for free.How I make money ? By being pacient!... Oh, read this:
In 2002 I get a touristic train, who runs over here all summer.On the begining, the profit was not much. I had paciently wait and now, I run small tours on it ,totaly full, and, last summer, one day ,on the morning tour I left there over 100 persons without place to sit.My litlte baby has 18 meters long and cares 72 passengers maxim.;)

So,with the bikes( surrey),the guests will pay to go one a tour to next village and will help the driver to pedal. The driver,has to keep every body allways happy, and be a exclent entretainer.My advise is: keep talking like a realy sales man and never let your guests think that you dont know your job.Remember that everyone likes to have a good time ,and every body is diferent: so we have short time to analyse what they expect and start providing.
The good thing is once the driver catch a nice group of ladies!...around its 40 y.old and he is a well build boy...But a group of old mames, ...well the program change!...Tourism idea.

Not really pedicabs, but bicycles for a lot of people - maybe not for long distance - but for team building events.

Hey Gerald

I dont know about any producer of bike trains, but belive me it was my first idea , before I notice that pedicabs existe.Dont lose the idea! that's great one , and I ´m my self interesting to participate (if possible), to develop it.
In my warehouse,it allready borns one, but I have to find new materials to replace part of the steel, in order it be more ligth.
Just a topic:
Join togheter 3 surreys bike, with the articulation , like train, place a good hidralic brake sistem in all of them, comanded from a single pedal,instal a electric engine on it, get 4 times the baterie capacity and try.If you do that, call me and I will pedal to Barcelona for the party!...:)
I'm not sure abouth authority (police) in Spain, but looks like nobody can stop you from runing..... read the spanish driving rules for bikes.

Starting at about 1:46 you can see some of the crazy bike creations in Austin including a 80 foot long bike train. These were all home made by a group of artists.

Man, I like the bike zoo thing!!!!! I can just see a pedicab as the head and small plug in trailers making up the tail!!!

The bike zoo snake is fun, bit it takes very good communication with the rear peddlers. It can and will jack-knife if the people in the back do not apply the brakes when they are told to do so. It would be much safer with a centralized brake system controlled by the driver that slowed all of the wheels at once.
