Bicycles replace trucks in Boston

20 June 2008 by pcNielsen Leave a Comment

I’ve thought in the past that I might enjoy being a bicycle courier in a large city. New Amsterdam Project is taking two-wheeled couriering to the next level.

This is a good idea regardless of gas prices. An NPR story on the company says they aren’t turning a profit yet, but I hope they manage to stick around in the long run.
