Let’s Roll Pedicabs

What a fun way to get familiarized with downtown Walnut Creek! Rob, our pedicab driver with a lean Lance Armstrong physique, somehow spotted us city girls and kindly offered to give us a complimentary ride on his pedicab to point out all the cute boutiques down Main Street. Since there were 4 of us, and the pedicab could only seat 3, he took 2 of us first and went back for our other friends after he dropped us off on the other end of Main St. at Crepevine, where we wanted to grab a bite to eat.
The pedicab ride was so much fun! The ride was smooth and we got to listen to music that was playing from his iPod speakers while he gave us a mini tour of Main St. It was such a treat since we were from out of town and it was much nicer than walking 3 blocks in 105 degree heat! We felt a bit like royalty and couldn’t help but wave at strangers walking along the street.
We were able to ride for free because of a special NoMa (North Main St) shopping event, but we learned that they typically only gives rides Thursday-​Sunday evenings in the downtown area. You can call them to book a ride or just wave them down if you see them in the neighborhood. Another great thing about their service is that not only do they take you from place to place, they are happy to suggest places for you to shop/​eat/​have fun!
