Cowtown Party Bikes (and The Road Less Traveled)

If you've ever wondered "what comes next?" hear the amazing journey of Vicki and Neal Peden, who went from a career in real radio (where she was the News Director for a big radio station in Dallas and he was the Chief Engineer). To hanging up their headphones and heading in a totally different direction as the founders of Cowtown Cycle Party, a 16-person BYOB party bike that's like a big bar on wheels. 

A path that eventually led them to eBikes as well, as they opened a complimentary Pedego Electric Bike store for the many others who wanted to ride along on their many guided trips thru the famous Ft. Worth stockyards (and their daily cattle drives). And all the bars and BBQ joints for which Dallas and Ft. Worth are famous. 

A truly a wild ride down one of the many "roads less traveled" for these modern day cowboys and eBike Entrepreneurs.  For whom "fun" is an everyday part of their vocabulary (along with "yee haw" and "y'all come").

Willing to work for fun

Meet Ted Duley, who after a 50 year career in the insurance industry found a new way to work (for fun this time fun) as organizer of the Sacramento Pedego Owners Group (and moderator of their Facebook page). Using the skills he'd acquired as a Sr. VP of Operations, he quickly recruited 71 new members to the group and organized 29 group rides for a total of 2,567 miles.

As Ted says, "Having just retired I wasn’t looking for work, but when I purchased my Pedego and discovered how much fun this could be, I just couldn't help myself from bringing others along for the ride".  Adding a new line to his long and successful resume, "willing to work for fun".
