This presentation by Steve Meyer, Owner of Main Street Pedicabs, Inc, will recount the development of the pedicab industry in modern cities around the world,
and the role of his company in that evolution. At one time pedicabs were seen as the quaint hallmark of transportation modes in developing countries.
They were sometimes treated by officials with disdain, rounded up and thrown into the sea, as if getting rid of them was going to signal economic progress.
Now pedicabs and all forms of bicycle transportation are regaining popularity throughout the world. Meyer will talk about the impact ride sharing, self-driving cars
and improved electric motors and batteries will have on the future of urban mobility. He will be sharing his thoughts as tries to figure out what his company will
do to adapt to these new technologies and take advntage of the coming changes.
