Thanks again queenseyes for the post, i really appreciate it! And thanks to all of my customers for your business and great conversation! It truly was an enjoyable summer.
At one point I did have an odometer hooked up, but i lost it along the way. I had been averaging 20 miles a day, so i figure I put in between 1500 - 2000 miles in total. Crazy! I spent the majority of my time in North Buffalo, EV, and Allentown... but i did venture as far north as North Tonawanda via the riverwalk bike path, Williamsville, Cheektowaga/Depew line to the east, and South Buffalo. Those were mainly to test my limits, and i definitely did catch some good natured slack from my regulars whenever i ventured off.
I was invited to plenty of parties/events to serve ice cream, which was always fun. If you have something going on and want the Ice Creamcycle to show up, let me know... I'm more than happy to do so, no extra charge of course.
As far as selling ad space, I definitely did think of that since the bike has a high profile. I decided against it tho. Rather, i simply ripped missing pet flyers off of posts and taped them on the front of the bike. Its the least i could do. (oh, i even carry Frosty Paws!)
Something that came up far too often... tipping. I definitely appreciate the sentiment, but I do not like accepting tips. Being that it's my own business, i feel its tacky to accept tips. If you must, then buy a stranger some ice cream!
I absolutely love the coffee bike!!! Thanks for that link. I emailed the gentleman, hopefully he responds and we can work something out. And yes, fresh roasted cinnamon glazed nuts are the best! I had Nutty Bavarian once while at Cedar Point, and i can still taste and smell them. Why cant we enjoy them here at home! I'm working on it!
Downtown during lunch hour is tricky. If anyone could help me break through the Buffalo Place bureaucracy please let me know. As it stands, they're not open to the possibility of a bike vendor downtown. thats a shame.
I think i touched on everything. Thanks again for your kind words and business. See you around soon! James
