Utilitarian cycling in Rhode Island!

I spotted this awesome pedi-cab bike outside a restaurant in my neighborhood! Of course I had to stop and talk to the owner.
Jamie lives only a few blocks from me. He frequently takes his two children for rides on the bike path's, in parades or, like he was doing today, out for lunch at a local restaurant.
This Main St Pedicab  has an electric assist motor for the hills and a high-power lighting system for nighttime riding.
Jamie also used to be a hardcore bicycle commuter too (52 miles round trip!)
While I was talking to him everyone that walked by and saw the pedicab said 'Cool!'
Cool indeed!

looks a pretty interesting way of travelling around, I wonder how easy it is to pedal.
