VELOTAXI BIEL -
BIENNE |
Summer 2002 in my hometown
Biel-Bienne: It's a once-in-a-lifetime party between the city and the lake. The
whole country is visiting Biel for the famous EXPO-02. How could I enjoy some
of this, if I needed to work for school in Zurich, prepare that BIKEVENTURE
project and also get physically fit for the journey, and also earn money?
Become a Bicycle Taxi Driver in Biel was the answer and it turned out to
probably be the greatest solution! So I got part of a pioneer
project in Switzerland and was proud of doing something good for the
environment. The customers generally had lots of fun, and I always felt much
sympathy from the crowds in the city. Overall it was really a highly addictive
job! Velotaxi was on duty in 2002 and 2003 during summertime.
Currently, I am working with a team of drivers to continue and even
enhance this sympathetic service next year. Check out the website of our
project BBVELOTAXI
