On the way back from Surry Hills last week, Miss Sonja and I met a nice chap called Russell down at Circular Quay. He operates 4 lovely Cycles Maximus pedicabs, part of the global pedicab boom that is spreading across the world. Massive in the UK, Europe and the States, it's a damn good way to get cars off the streets in the CBD if you ask me. Just $20 for a standard trip through the city, the cabs take 2 people and cost almost the same as a taxi fare nowadays in heavy traffic, and are abviously far more fun as these photos would suggest.

If you can put up with a bit of bum pinching, perhaps you enjoy it, and want to earn money for riding around the city in Summer (!) leave a message here or email me and I'll put you in touch with him. Or pop down to Circular Quay and say hi in person.
Love the tagline on their website - zero polution transport solution - absolutely.
