Hitching a Ride on a Rickshaw for Bike Week

This week I travelled by pedal-powered Rickshaw to a meeting in Kempston in support of Bike Week 2010. All sorts of events have been taking place in the Borough to promote the event, and I am always keen to support cycling as a healthy, environmentally friendly way for people to get around and help beat congestion in the Borough. The ride was actually very comfortable (thanks to Rebecca from Beds Road Cycling Club for cycling so smoothly!), and I was even able to get the laptop out and do some work on the way over!

The Beds on Sunday were again on hand with the video camera. To see me having a go at cycling on rickshaw (in the mayoral robes!), click here: http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/News/Mayor-promotes-pedal-power.htm
