Call it chance, fate, or destiny. Pedicabs and Provincetown was a match just waiting to happen.

A long time resident of Provincetown, Bruce VanAllen, and a returning-from-points-West Cape Codder, Randy McDonald, conceived the idea during one of the coldest winters that the Cape had seen in many years and the approaching warmer weather was on everyone's mind.

Bruce and Randy met that winter while working on a construction project and, finding that they shared many similar interests, and, more importantly, a common goal of having a job that incorporated cycling, started the gears turning.

That goal, coupled with Provincetown's small overall layout, the huge amount of seasonal pedestrians, motorized traffic issues, and the need for a viable solution to the overall congestion, just begged for a remedy.

Hence, the idea of bicycle powered "rickshaws" coming to Provincetown was launched. And, with Ptown Pedicabs looking forward to enjoying a FIFTH season in 2007, they have certainly proven to be that answer!
