Kicking off on National Bike to Work Day on May 19, First Through Fifth will be providing free pedicab service – with tips encouraged – throughout downtown Dayton.
“From the Wright Brothers’ shop to the two new brewery peddling buses, Dayton has a long history with cycling,” Earl Hatmaker, operator of First through Fifth said. “With all of the great development going on across downtown too, we wanted to get out there and help connect the dots for people. There’s a lot of stuff that’s closer together than you might think. It’s a chance to park your car and go experience all that the city has to offer.”
For National Bike to Work Day, First through Fifth will operate in the morning out of RiverScape MetroPark for their pancake breakfast and then later on in the day out of Yellow Cab for the Yellow Cab Food Truck Rally. The service is free, though tips for the drivers are encouraged.
“Summertime is always fun in the city,” Hatmaker said. “We want to be out there peddling people around from everywhere from festivals, to Dragons games, to just a nice weekend of patio hopping.”
For those interested, First through Fifth free pedicab service begins operations on National Bike to Work Day on May 19. Private bookings, advertising opportunities, and following engagements can be found on their Facebook page.
