The Royal Pedicab Has Arrived!

Does anyone want to drive the royal pedicab?

Alex-with-the-pedicab did the most stand-up thing a soul could do -- while he was unable to actually make the parade himself (because he will make oodles of money for his family at the Jaguars game on Saturday in Jax) he was able to secure a pedicab for the parade that we could rent for a nominal fee, putting the 500-dollar deposit down himself so we wouldn't have to.

It's a beauty of a pedicab and, if I can get the battery pack charged tomorrow, will have decorative lights all over it.

I rode it home myself, with a member of Queen Bicycle's entourage lolling behind me in her car to make sure I wouldn't crash and concuss. But ask me if I'll be riding it in the parade and I will have to say, "no." It's got an amazing Gary Fischer bike attached to it that's way too big for me and I was frankly way too exhausted by the end of the short ride from John-with-the-other-pedicab's house to mine.

So, if anyone is feeling that special calling to be Queen Bicycle of 2007's royal pedicab driver (and frankly just wants an awesome workout) please speak up and approach to be deputized. The entourage has deigned to walk among the commoners to help hand out candy and possibly ride on a tandem (if one can be had on such short notice) leaving the lovely, wafer-thin Queen Bicycle with the pedicab all to herself.
