Gentle Giant Pedals Its New Bicycle Service
Somerville, MA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012
Environment and price-conscious residents on the move in Boston have embraced moving industry leader Gentle Giant Moving Company’s ground-breaking new service; moves conducted using only specialized pedal-powered bicycles. The award winning moving company rolled out this innovative service which will allow Boston residents relocating within the city to move stress free without the use of large, diesel consuming trucks that require buying expensive, city-issued parking permits. By eliminating trucks from the moving equation, customers can still enjoy the same high quality, efficient move conducted by the courteous professionals at Gentle Giant, but at a lower financial and environmental cost.
The bicycles and trailers used by Gentle Giant’s Bike Moves service are specialized for hauling heavy goods. The custom built trailers are made of aluminum and are capable of carrying 300 pounds. The Bike Moves service currently serves customers moving within the Boston metro area that seek a low-cost, high-quality, professional, and environmentally-friendly option. Students moving items into or out of storage, single apartment dwellers, and businesses needing local deliveries are a few examples of ideal customers for the Bike Moves service. It is a year-round service, and Bike Moves service takes every precaution with regard to the safe and timely transport of goods as Gentle Giant does with its truck moves.
Gentle Giant’s Bike Moves service began when a local cycling enthusiast started helping people move furniture and boxes around town with his bicycle tractor-trailer rig to earn some extra cash. After some initial success, the entrepreneurial cyclist decided to bring the idea to a company that he felt had the resources and progressive culture needed to make bicycle-based moving a large scale reality: 31 year old, Boston-based Gentle Giant Moving Company. The clean, frugal service was outlined to Gentle Giant Founder and CEO Larry O’Toole, who loved the idea. “This initiative was a perfect fit for Gentle Giant,” O’Toole explained. “Our local customers now have an environmentally friendly option which fits in perfectly with Gentle Giant’s athletics and fitness focused company culture.”
Customers choosing the Bike Moves service will get a minimum crew of two Giants with one or two bicycle rigs, with the option of a third rig and additional Giants if needed. If a customer is unsure whether Bike Moves service is the right choice for them, Gentle Giant will do an on-site visit with the customer to help decide. Those interested in the service can call Gentle Giant at 1-800-GIANT-MEN and inquire with the sales team.
