Back to the Streets: A Manifesto

A new day has dawned for the Shotties, ladies and gentlemen. We are fully in effect for the 2010 year. From April 15th to the Mayday parade we spent some time out getting familiar again and getting our wings back. Then what essentially can be called a 2-week rainout hit. So we've not been very active lately, but the next 10 days look good. We'll have sound and canopies on every Shotty soon as well as building new ones and we're currently organizing pubcrawls, private parties, date nights, speed dating, and a benefit show.

Some people think they know what it's like to be on one of these pedicabs, but each of our cabs is unique and has a different feel and personality (We characterize each cab with a name). It's easy to know who we are because of how we build our cabs, you sit in front--or Shotty(Shotgun). Better than starin' at someone's sweaty ass.

Here's the deal: We are and always will be a Free, Tip-based service. We do this so that anyone of any financial situation can enjoy these experiences. We don't like or want ads on our vehicles because we don't want anybody in or on them to be an advertisement for energy drinks and condoms. We are a mobile art project seeking to enhance peoples' awesomeness. We are as good at having fun ourselves as we are talented in entertaining our clientele and we'd rather have someone ON the bike than not at all. No guilt-trips here, we like what we do and we're good at it.
