Making Greenville greener one pedal at a time. Meet Greenville Bike Taxi , the city’s newest pedicab service.
Phil Gonzalez — a recent Charleston transplant and nine-year pedicab driver — cofounded Greenville Bike Taxi with his father, Leonard, and stepmom, Joy. The business offers a green (and scenic) way to get around downtown.

How can I ride?
There are three ways to ride — all ages (and pups) are welcome on board:
- Call to schedule a pickup — estimated wait times are 5-10 minutes.
- Find a Greenville Bike Taxi parked near its HQ across from Gather Greenville or along Main Street.
- Make a reservation online — pedicabs can be reserved for a date night out, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and even wedding send-offs, complete with a “Just Married” sign.
