It may be green, but the

It may be green, but the requirements from the city of Eugene requires that PediCab owners and drivers be licensed with a DRIVER'S LICENSE in order to do business as a PediCab in this city, which I feel the city of Eugene would actually be discriminating against those who do not have a drivers license or those with a disability from owning or operating such a legimate business like, like PediCabs. I've been a longtime bicycle commuter in this city and have no drivers license and see no problem with such an endeavor of owning such a business, but requiring one to have a driver's license for a pedicab would actually mean that the city would be requiring that everyone in the city of Eugene, that rides a bicycle to have a drivers license before they could even ride their own bicycle.

The requirement is such a joke, I thought I found the perfect oppurtunity to start one of these myself, but, only to get shot down by the city requirement of having a drivers license for this business - it actually drives those away from operating such legimate business, when you already have the means to handle a bicycle properly. Shame on the city of Eugene for discourging those with such a requirement and those with a disability like mine.
