Our friend Jim Shirk forwarded us an article from Daily Kos…a company in Northampton, Massachusetts that hauls trash for the municipality using pedal power. Take a look at the original article by clicking here.

Now THIS is the kind of business that should be receiving Federal stimulus money — while this type of setup wouldn’t work in a lot of places, especially in a very hilly area, there are myriad applications to be tapped, from food and product delivery to trash-hauling, urban cleanup, peoplemoving (think pedicabs or the like) and plenty others.
Bravo, Pedal People!!!
