Bike Taxis arrive in Vancouver

Tikki Tikki Pedicabs arrive in their 5th country

When you start your career as an Agrochemical research chemist, and give it up to cycle around the planet funding your trip by teaching English in Japan, becoming a bike messenger in four countries, and setting up a pedicab businesses in four cities, you are eventually going to want to settle down and relax – right? Our founder Russell decided to wrap up the ten years of cycling and bring her home; Tikki Tikki has landed in it’s fifth and final location (it’s been a long ride).

Russell shipped the trikes in a 20ft container from central London, and set about finding a downtown base to keep the wheels rolling (not so easy in the most expensive city in the world). All the Tikki Tikki trikes then passed the pedicab licensing requirements issued by City Hall, and Tikki Tikki is finally ready to roll up and down the hills of Vancouver. Russell would like to thank everyone who helped along the way with either their words of support (‘dude you’re crazy’- thanks Beaker), or their help in getting the show on the road. We can’t wait to haul the beautiful people of Canada around Vancouver, and we really look forward to your business. Tikki Tikki will still be operating in London and is available for bookings and advertising – please do get in touch.
