Gargussycats.

LIONSPOTTING: gargoyle edition.

Boston loves lions, as we are always pointing out. But sometimes there’s a bit of architectural cross-pollination with the felines.

These comical felines are cross between great cat and gothic guardian. Half gargoyle, half feline; hence “gargussycat.”

We were gonna go with just ”gargussy,” but that felt a little crass.

Hovering over Copley Square, you have to look way, way up to spot them on Trinity Church. Each one is a little different from the next, as with all the carvings on the grid cathedral. Trinity’s ornate motifs – mostly hand carved – could even be *technically* considered the largest sculpture on Boston.

No wonder they needed such intimidating gargussycats to guard it.

We don’t think a “gargussy” would be taken quite as seriously.

Best thing at the convention. (So why didn’t your company’s CSuite think to book us, too?)

We were the best thing at the Inbound Convention last September. In this Slab Recall, we think back too how grateful we were to for making us part of their VIP service.

While the winter months keep us off the roads, we can’t help but miss the conventions we get to work. It’s one of those gigs where the big bad entrepreneurs get to mingle with us small business Boston experts.

Looking forward to more corporate gigs as soon as this weather warms up.

See you soon, Boston Convention Center!

A slow-season SLAB RECALL back to 2025 East Boston.

From January 2 through March 16 is the slowest season for pedicabs in Boston. Nicknamed “The Desert” by some in the community, we barely get to go out and make mischief.

And so, we spend the chillier months recalling the good times and warm weather.

Back to times when welcomes us to be the ambassadors to the streets and appreciate cool neighborhoods like East Boston.

Back to times when a pack of rumbling trikes travelled AROUND Boston Harbor just to make sure one of Boston’s most remote neighborhoods gets the good stuff.

Back to times when veterans chummed around with n00bs on terrain we’re all a little new to.  And back to times when Walt almost got naked. (Again.)

Two mayors in two weeks.

When the honorable Mayor Simmons of needed an es**rt for the parade route, she knew exactly who to call. Once again, ’s parad expert Christian Matyi swooped in to take her along the route to the huge block party at University Park.

The Carnival season in Grater Boston is definitely early fall, and Cambridge’s own is one of the best!

Thanks so much to Mayor Simmons and her family friends and staff for leading the way in a well-decorated trike!

When the Mayor of Boston calls, you ALWAYS pick up the phone.

It was flattering that was called upon by Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 to have her old buddy Christian Matyi be her es**rt during the annual Caribbean Day Parade in Roxbury.

You see, her Madame Mayor is with her third child, and so walking a parade route is not so wise for an expectant mother. Pedicab wrangler Christian once again es**rted the expectable Mayor and her son Blaise through the parade route.

Because of courCity of Boston’t miss one of the largest events in the !

For half a century (YES HALF A CENTURY), the and parade has been one of the largest cultural events in the whole city. Rivalling Boston’s legendary St. Patrick’s Day, Caribbean Day boasts a longer parade route and perhaps larger attendance than almost any other event day in the city!

So this was definitely a day for the Mayor to show up.!

And of course, XN’s skills were the perfect way to keep the City’s First Mother off her feet for stretched of the route.

The TrikeHub is grateful to the Mayor for keeping Boston’s pedicabs as there representative of pedestrianism in the city.

Thanks Mayor Wu!

Imagine being the very, very firstest ride that newlyweds take together…

Sigh.

It’s crazy romantic.

A couple gets married, and then the first thing they do together is pop in a Just married pedicab and off they go to start their adventure.

This is one of those perks of the job that can’t be beat.

Congratulations to the Lauren & Emily! All us slabs of Boston wish you many, many joyous years to come!

LIONSPOTTING.

Literally.
Everywhere.

We’ve found probably hundreds. Once you start seeing them, lions are EVERYWHERE in Boston.

🦁

LIONSPOTTING. Yup. We keep finding ‘em.

Maybe not our page’s most glamorous series, but pedicabs are about seeing stuff. So it makes sense to keep showing how we’re not (totally) crazy, and there are, indeed, (for whatever reason) Lions all over Boston.

🦁

Okay, so I guess is a thing.

Long-time pedicab driver and constantly-freaked-out-slab got the annual Opening Day pic frame thrown at him.

But like any pedicab driver at on Opening Day, he made a deal. Grabbing one of the not-to-be-named execs, he finagled a deal. If WEEI shouts us back, we will keep this post up.

Clock is ticking, ! Gauntlet thrown! Let’s play ball!

That thing where a 10-year-old gives as good a tour as a pedicab driver!

It was tempting for veteran Boston tour guide to want to just hand the saddle over to John and Michael. That kid had some amazing jokes and in eleven years we definitely want to get him hired as an official slab!

Father and son spent the day exploring Boston, hunting for clues about geography, digging into curious sports trivia, learning about broke kings and Victorian architecture, and of course some Bostonian lionspotting!

Pedicab tours of Boston bend and shape themselves to the passengers, and definitely are a blast.

And every once in a while a young passenger outwits the driver!

LIONSPOTTING in Boston.

Folks on pedicabs have noticed for years, for some reason, in Boston, lions are tucked away everywhere. Pay attention and you’;ll start seeing the felines tucked in everywhere.

Sometimes they are just a little detail that you probably walked right by a thousand times but didn’t even notice. Like this kitty swirled into the filagree.

Pedicab tour season is already beginning, and the Lionspotting game in Boston will be in full swing in no time.

Just hanging around in alleys down by The Modern. We relate.

People generally think of us pedicab drivers as alley clowns, too. So we feel similar to these two.   Likewise, tourists often laugh at us, pointing and snapping pictures. Yeah, we are kin.

And the heroes of this whimsical art install are our partners at . We also think they’re heroic, so same same.

It’s part of an ongoing series of art installations called “Winteractive,” which are designed to draw curiosity and encourage Downtown visitors to look closely, smile, and look up.

These two weirdos are named Nagg and Nell, and the piece is called Endgame.

And considering winter pedicabbing is also sort of a perpetual endgame yeah, we relate to that too,.
