OUR PEDICAB PERFORMANCE REVIEWS- LIVING LIKE ROCK STARS–and Fred ARMISEN making fun of us… I LOVE it
this is my FAVorite!!!!!
the conventional working world where federal government lemming employees work 9-5 jobs— you get performance reviews and annual evaluations. In the pedicab world, we all want to ask each other the same question. It’s our way of comparing ourselves, judging our productivity, a performance review of sorts. Although this question is on the minds of many pedicabbers, many don’t ask, don’t tell—– “how much did you make today?” “— we all want to know how much our co-workers have made—but we can’t. It’s not good. Ones earnings of the day of a pedicabber or salary is a portrayal of skill, quadricep turbo power, sales ability, approachability, and hustle/bustle. Who keeps on going and going? Who broke $$$ bucks by four o clock? We usually don’t make that m
uch btw….
The pedicab world is full of interesting characters, extreme in one way or another— We pass each other in the streets and ring our bell, acknowledging one’s presence, respectfully. Today, my fellow pedicabing friends’ faces are either smiling (because of the large lump of cash in their pocket), or sweating driplets of sweat droplets dribbling trickles while smiling. Although we are all secretly exhausted inside, we are still on a runners high of the Martin Luther King rush. Almost all of us made between $$$-$$$ dollars today. Personally, I made money on the lower side of this spectrum and I was wondering why. I used to be a much better pedicaber I thought, or maybe I was just more money hungry, or competitive. When everyone else was making double what I was making, I was thinking “man…I used to be the girl that made the most money out of all the pedicabbers”…. and now I’m not. I must admit, I was not resentful by any means, and I wouldn’t go as far as saying I was jealous—but I was thinking… well something must be wrong with me. I always need to be the best—or best in my class. I remind myself that its not about quantity— its about quality. Although the highest paid pedicaber-Turkish Legend, Millionaire Murat probably made $$$$ dollars today—, I made less than half that—in one Sunday. While most people are going back to work tomorrow because it’s Monday (Wompidy womp womp womp), I will be chillin out maxin, relaxin, all coool, and all shootin some BBALL outside of the school—We bust our butts you see—us pedicabbers. We make a killing, Robertly rob the mall to travel to some South African Country, do our thing, have it made like Madelin& Franz in New Orleans to pedicab for a couple of months, Bryantly bike across the entire country, make our own schedule, and because we can—most importantly— we live like ROCKSTARS.

So what was the final analysis? Why are you making less than you used to? I’ll bring my consulting best practices to the pedicab field and help identify areas for improvement.
So how much do you guys make? I have a couple bike messenger friends who made about 120 a day–but then they switched over to pedicabbing—and now they make like—200-400 on any given saturday! You guys are rich. To think —–we feel bad for you guys!
DONT EVER feel bad for us!
we love our jobs!
