"Pedicabs May Soon Be Seen in Oxford, Mississippi" - NYTimes.com

How about in Obey Creek? What I like about this is the people level at which these conveyances operate. Imagine if the trail in Southern Village were extended to Walmart and on to Lowes/CVS and Harris-Teeter. For the hearty, perhaps even into Chapel Hill. Think of the exercise that these sorts of transports could earn for us if we could individually pedal our way to grocery and related area shopping whether in Southern Village, Obey Creek or elsewhere. I imagine the routes would be defined largely by hills, etc. but just think of how much use a trail for bikes, these conveyances and people would get it it provided a human workable means to fulfill shopping obligations. Of course, if one wants to be pessimistic, one could assume that everyone who could use such a route is too lazy to do it.
