In the incoming email this morning, more photos from a week way back in August of 2017.
In Tacoma.
Touring the Tacoma waterfront, from Point Ruston, via a pedal cab, with Kristin, Ruby and Michele in the driver's seat, while Theo, David and me are backseat drivers.
I think I have opined before that the town I am currently in, Wichita Falls, Texas, needs a pedal cab franchise so people can have themselves a mighty fine time pedal cabbing along the Circle Trail.
I do not remember if the Tacoma pedal cab had a braking system, or simply relied on ceasing to pedal to cause the cab to stop.
If there are no brakes, pedal cabs of the sort I pedaled in Tacoma would be problematic if the pedal cab franchise was located at the MPEC (Multi-Purpose Event Center) due to the fact that the Circle Trail near that location has a couple semi-steep hill sections, of the sort where I could see it might be a bit problematic pedaling up the hills, that, and speeding out of control going down the hills, if the pedal cab had no braking method.
But, a pedal cab franchise located at Lucy Park would work just fine, what with the Circle Trail circling around Lucy Park being pretty much flat.
If you pedal cabbed out of Lucy Park, on the Circle Trail, heading to the Wichita Falls artificial waterfall installation, there is a slight elevation change of the going up and down a hill sort. But, not too drastic an ascent, or descent.
A pedal cab in this, at times, HOT town, might not be too popular during the blistering summer months, but the cooler other times of the year, getting too HOT does not happen too often...
