Green Gears Transportation - Saving The Planet One Bike Ride At A Time!

Some friends of mine recently started a new business here in Jackson called Green Gears Transportation. Their mission: reduce greenhouse gases and traffic by offering bike-driven taxis and rental bikes to the influx of tourists, seasonal workers, and locals alike during the warm summer months. Green Gears bike racks have started popping up in front of hotels and businesses all over town. If you're lucky, you may have already caught a glimpse of the bike taxi drivers getting warmed up on the streets of downtown.I got to test it out and pull the boys around:
The owners, Ben, Jessi, & Jonathan, cruising by the Elk Refuge...
The incredible rock-hopping PediCab off-roading in Stormy Circle:
