  1. Hello,

    Due to a severe truck/bike accident (I was the cyclist), I'm unemployed.

    At the time of my accident I was going to graduate school for Library Science. But things have change drastically. The head trauma I got from my accident makes my memory absolutely horrible, so I'll probably never finish my degree.

    Even though I'm disabled, have horrible balance, and rely on a walker, I'm still very passionate about cycling. I discovered the recumbent trike, and am the very happy owner of a Sun EZ3 (Sun Bicycles - Product).

    To me, at least, trikes are the SUVs (or pickup trucks) of velocipedes. They have so much carrying capability!

    I'd like to take advantage of this carrying capacity. Since gasoline is so expensive, I'd like to form some sort of delivery service using the trike.

    What do you folks think of this idea? What do you think would be a fair price

  2. The simple answer is as much as traffic will bear. One source is law firms. There are legal papers that can not be faxed. With a trike, one can sell advertising. Contract to display an ad on a A frame sign board and ride around. See if a local pharmacy will use you to run prescriptions. Business cards and a cell phone will get you going. Pick up and deliver groceries for those home bound. I would use the local avg income as a pricing guide. Time; weight; and distance are pricing factors.

    Thanks for the response, Angelo.

    My trike business would operate locally(Appleton, WI). Appleton isn't a huge city, so, I'm not sure how much law firm business I'd have.

    If I do this, I'll definitely offer tricycle advertisement. Thanks for that suggestion!
