Simpy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Does one exist? Has one ever existed in Cape Town? Would there be a demand for a service if someone started one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Hey Simpy! did you find out more info? I am seriously considering starting one up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Apparently there was one. Someone told me about it 2 or 3 years ago as I was also considering this. They mentioned it wasnt economically viable, but I still dont see why not. Look into it, as it is a good idea to get docs across town etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted August 23, 2011 Share Had very serious invovlement in Peddlers in the late '90's. It wasn't hugely economically viable but we had all the best clients and for a while we had great riders, it then became harder and harder to find quality riders with integrity and the service levels slid a bit.It was an awesome time and an awesome job, it just didn't pay very well, if you can work out a way to get the competitive spirit going in the riders, pay them decent amounts and get clients to pay you real money you'll be doing well. Bloody hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted August 23, 2011 Share I think there was one called Stallions - sounded like a male escort agency. It was based in Gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted August 23, 2011 Share Indeed, Stallions, our gayer rivals, had a very brief race series against them, it was one-sided! The actually rode around in cycling kit! Do you have any idea how much people don't want to be handed things by people wearing cycle kit? The used to be based in Bree street, last I checked Micha just kind of drifted off.Peddlers was sold to City Sprint who just hired very (very!) slow people.

theror Posted August 23, 2011 Share Ah yes, peddlers, the good old days. There was no better training as a student while getting paid a little. There were some tough dudes riding there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
