Well, here we are. This is Metro Pedal Power, formerly New Amsterdam Project.
We’re a pedal powered delivery service currently operating in the Metro Boston Area. It has been about a year now since we started and I think it’s getting easier. Either that or I am just getting used to the pain.

I have to say, I never really thought of running a delivery company. I mean, I thought about doing a lot of things over the years but… nope, not once.

I also never imagined that it could be such an interesting and rewarding experience.

I pedaled through the hills of Belmont yesterday, delivering veggies that were farmed on a little 1 acre plot of land by Gretta Anderson. My round trip was over 20 miles with the furthest point practically in Waverly.

…Waverly?

I don’t even know where that is!

Here’s what it looked like in Google Maps.

I didn’t have a camera so that’s the only pic I have from my route yesterday. It was cold and cloudy Saturday morning but there were a lot of people out and about in the residential neighbourhoods I traveled through. I was noticing alot of smiles on the road yesterday. From pedestrians, other bikers, from inside coffee shops on the side of the road, even from people in cars, I saw eyes looking and faces smiling.

I guess that’s one of the reasons I do this.
