TRICYCLES MADE FOR FOUR

Submitted by Editor on

The Festival is a time of feverish activity for all kinds of local businesses, not least Chariot Media who were working overtime yesterday afternoon to prepare, maintain and repair some of their 36-strong fleet of cycle rickshaws.

For much of the year, the rickshaws come out mainly at weekends in the evenings, but over the summer demand swells as visitors to the city sit back and take in eyefuls of scenery, earfuls of information or lungfuls of carbon monoxide depending on the route and traffic conditions.

The firm have been based on Broughton Street Lane for 8 years, and employ over 50 staff selected for their combination of fitness and a gift of the gab. Ailsa drew the short straw and dutifully struck the cheesy pose.
