Re: Reducing Residential Transportation Emissions

Rickshaws vans aka work trikes with weatherproof lockable cargo bays resting on the chassis replace gas-guzzling vans here in NYC as well as in Boston and Portland, OR, to name a few cities of which I'm aware. Our manufacturer, Cycles Maximus, also produces pick-up trikes that take the place of pick-up trucks.
It's critical if we want to move away from fuel-based transport platforms to maximize the possible with regard to our own power. The fact that rickshaws, which are so prevalent in Asia and promote self-sufficient utility, health, and hard work, are routinely ignored in the overdeveloped world is unfortunate, at best, and is one that can be addressed in this upcoming book, if it pleases you.

Rickshaws, including passenger rickshaws and rickshaw vans, and work trikes and bikes generally have been deployed in more holistically grounded societies such as those found in the Indian subcontinent as well as eastern Asia for many decades. Ironically, as we in the west discover the utility as well as holistic and health benefits of rickshaws, our friends in Asia are being forced by the World Bank et al to margins more than ever.
What's stopping city-based businesses and individuals participating on this list serve from crafting and maintaining rickshaw practices to maximize carbon neutral local logistics, I wonder? Revolution Rickshaws executes rickshaw services in NYC for numerous clients, both corporate and individual. I wonder why more folks don't avail themselves of such useful, holistic, and healthful local organic logistics solutions.

When your employees take rickshaws about town, have the pedaler contact the point person at your office. The employee taking the most rides gets a free week of rickshaw riding by the boss!
