Guests at the Edinburgh Film & Television Festival were given the red rickshaw treatment in August, with a whole fleet of pedicabs in Virgin branding! 20 b-spokes rickshaws were decked in spectacular scarlet liveries to offer free rides between festival venues and hotels across the city. Delegates were provided with a special map showing rickshaw pickup points, and the service operated from morning till night. No more fighting for taxis! And door-to-door eco-friendly transfer!
