Praise For Peda Pod

After catching the train into Circular Quay today, the interest of passers by in what seemed to be a just a promotions vehicle caught my eye. With further investigation, I was delighted to see the purpose built bicycle 'Peda Pod' used for the transportation of people and parcels.

Classed as a bicycle who's shell is constructed using recycled plastics from milk containers, the Peda Pod is able to go 'off road' onto footpaths and other various locations which the traditional taxi is restricted. This adds a definite x-factor to their appeal by further promoting what the business provides when conducting tours around the city.

Established in 2005, the business aimed to "foster a new inner city culture that creates a sustainable future." and "would love to see the city streets full of bicycles and pods, people moving under their own steam..." reinforces the avant-guarde ideals that are still yet to be taken seriously by the majority of companies and consumers alike.

Inspiration and Influences

What a wonderful feeling it is to start a new project. Your little baby. The thing you will pour your heart and soul into. Your head is filled with excitement and fresh ideas, but what happens when it does not turn out the way you intended? This is the reasoning behind my first post. To look back on how far I have come and help kick start and build momentum to finish what I have started.

Inspiration and influences come in all different shapes and forms. It could be the day your mum enrolled you into University without your knowledge, too absorbing the thoughts and ideas of the Masters that have walked this path before you.

I can safely say that the inspiration to start 'Designtail' was a guest blog on Scott Kelby Inside Photoshop by Zack Arias. The video blog 'Transform', emotionally describes the realities of the unknown. Last week Zack reinforced his commitment to his folowers and posted another video blog 'Dope, Soap and Hope' which drives home the idea that teachers ARE everywhere and to open up your eyes and ears to the world. Things DO happen for a reason. That there are those in less fortunate positions than we are and playing the cards they have been dealt with a positive attitude and unmatched self belief.

Whenever I feel lost in life and I just need to know that I am not alone, I like to watch these two videos for encouragement and stimulation towards my day to day life.
