Pedal People Cooperative, Inc.
We've incorporated as a worker run and owned cooperative corporation! Here is our
mission statement:
"The Co-op uses bicycles and bicycle trailers to transport things, and is committed to using
human power despite the culture of dependence on motorized vehicles. We hope that our use of
relatively simple tools in sound business practice will debunk the prevailing belief that more
technology is needed to solve problems.
We believe that social change is possible, and we share
inspiration and education with people wanting to choose more sustainable lifestyles. We aim to
make a living in a fair, noble way, exploiting no one.
We believe in the idea of low-income living
as a counter to the work-consume-spend lifestyle common in America today. We also believe that by
spending less time making a living, we can have more time to contribute to the community and live
life at a human pace rather than a motorized pace."
