Beginning Jan. 28 and at no additional cost to the shopper, the pedicab company the Long Beach Pedaler Society will offer a grocery-delivery service for residents residing within a one-mile radius of Trader Joe’s in Bixby Knolls. This service has been made possible by the Bike-Friendly Business District (BFBD) program in partnership with the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association. The BFBD program is made possible by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the City of Long Beach.
The couriers (or “flyers” as they are called within Pedaler Society) will provide bicyclists with an efficient method of getting their groceries home after riding their bikes to Trader Joe’s. According to a press release issued this week by the Pedaler Society, customers will benefit from a healthy bike ride to and from Trader Joe’s and a great conversation with their “flyer” on the way home.
The Pedaler Society utilizes a cargo bike provided by the Bike Friendly Business Districts program to Bixby Knolls for local businesses to use when delivering products to local customers.
“Thanks to the leadership of the Bike-Friendly Business District program and Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association, Long Beach Pedaler Society is now able to provide a bicycle-friendly option for residents to shop for groceries.” says Dana Seagraves of Pedaler Society. “While outwardly this may seem like a small offering, it is yet another way that residents in the ‘most bike-friendly city in the nation’ can get on a bicycle and practice healthy living. Perhaps the most important aspect of this program is that it is yet another way that we can participate in our favorite type of business; the business of healthy community building.”
