About 1,000 miles into the life of Joe Henretty’s pedicab – the first of his three bicycle taxis that frequent the BOK Center and ONEOK Field – the pedicab’s mileage counter broke. So now Henretty’s fit, 6-foot frame is the only gauge of the remaining 4,000 miles he’s put on the bike, which bears Affordable Bail Bonds’ advertisements as it hauls as many as three adults and two small children at a time.

The 33-year-old pedicab company owner doesn’t like to talk about money, but a good night – like when Bruce Springsteen played the BOK Center – Henretty, his wife, Bethany, and a third driver collected tips that were, on average, $10, but up to $20. From 6 p.m. to almost 2 a.m. that night, Joe said each driver gave more than 20 rides.

Tulsa World: Tulsa being peddled as ‘bicycle friendly’

Given my bad experiences with drivers in OKC this year, I think we aren’t even close to getting something like this.  And of course, Oklahoma as a state ranks 48th in bicycle friendliness according to League of American Bicyclists.

The bright pink, old-fashioned Townie bicycles stationed along River Parks appear to be a hit with park visitors.

With a full year’s worth of data still being evaluated, officials believe that the free bikes were checked out by about 13,000 riders, said Tom Cooper, a member of the Tulsa Townies LLC, which provides and maintains the two-wheelers.
