James the Ice Creamcycle Dude
I see this guy riding everywhere...pedaling about a mile and hour, dinging his bell, and always smiling. It always makes me smile when I see him pedaling merrily by. Such a simple concept, one may think...buy a trike with a refrigerated compartment, get a permit, load it with stuff and pedal around selling it...think again. It is beyond the thought process of my brain why the bureaucracy of city hall in the Queen City would give this guy such a hard time. They're always trying to bring more people into the city and create a new urban community...if this isn't about sustainability and urban community I don't know what is. Maybe they're a little intimidated by the simplicity of it.
