Entrepreneur Creates New Rickshaw Business
Andy Tyne hopes the rising price of gas helps his new business thrive. He recently bought a rickshaw and is
now riding it around town. Tyne said he decided to buy the bike and carriage to ride his children back and forth to scool, but then realized it could make him some money.
“I run another business on the side. I’m a chimney sweep and I guess maybe I’ve inhaled too much soot,” said the owner of Broadway Rickshaw. “I’m always thinking of something different to do. A mobile hot dog stand. But this one seemed to fit more with our family and the community’s needs.”
His plans are to take tourists around town to show them some of the local flavor. “Of course we’ll talk about the water, Penobscot River, the history of Bucksport because of the water,” he said. He’ll also talk about Fort Knox, show them some of the historic homes and at Halloween time tell stories of hauntings.
