The mission of USAPedicabbers.org is to provide support for independent pedicab riders in all areas across the United States.
Santa Monica, CA, August 4, 2014 (Newswire.com) - USAPedicabbers.org is a new platform to help independent pedicab riders with issues such as lease agreements, rider insurance, restrictions on operating areas, the permitting process, and pedicab company owners.
USAPedicabbers.org was founded in June 2014 by Matt Canham. Inspired by his own experiences and those voiced by other pedicab riders, Canham has high hopes for the website.
Any owner will tell you they are trying to run a small business, but the smallest business of all is the rider of the pedicab.

According to Canham, 'one of the biggest gripes I've heard over the years from riders is that pedicab companies want it both ways. Riders are treated as independent contractors with respect to pedicab rent and culpability, but when it comes to special events, they become more like low paid employees.'
USAPedicabbers.org will strive to assist those doing the actual hard work out there -- the riders -- as much as possible. 'Any owner will tell you they are trying to run a small business, but the smallest business of all is the rider of the pedicab.'
'Most lease agreements place the blame for any pedicab accident solely upon the rider. The public may be shocked to know then, that individual riders are uninsured. The riders themselves may also be similarly shocked to know the extent of their liability.'
USAPedicabbers.org is in its beginning stages and is currently seeking riders to join our membership. 'With membership, comes power. There is no cost at all for anyone to join, and the sole aim of the site is to assist riders.'
'Similarly, if there are any companies who would like to align themselves with the men and women who ride pedicabs, we welcome them as well.'
