PedX Becomes Business Sponsor of People Power
An interview with Jesse Frey of PedX.
Q: People Power recently received a $200 credit on deliveries from PedX. You are also offering a 10% discount to our members. What inspired that?
A: First of all, it's good business to support the creation of the infrastructure we need to safely and efficiently do our deliveries by bicycle. Secondly, especially with this whole plan to widen the freeway, we want to support your work towards creating the kind of community we'd like to live in.
Q: For our members that don't know, what is PedX?
A: In short, we are a bicycle powered delivery collective. Six cyclists cooperatively own and operate a small and medium sized freight delivery (up to 200 pounds at a time) using bicycles and trailers. For me, PedX is a demonstration of the peaceful lifestyle I advocate for. John's death has reminded me of why I started doing this in the first place.
Q: How can People Power members use PedX?
A: We can deliver pretty much anything county wide. People Power members have asked us to pick up their mail at the post office, deliver heavy packages to UPS or FedEx, buy their groceries, pick up prescriptions, and hang up flyers for event. We've even moved a couple of members into new homes by bicycle. We can do most deliveries within an hour and members get 10% off.
