Unemployment is high, stocks are down, and people are cynical, but successful entrepreneurs often launch innovative ideas in the middle of a downturn. Some friends of mine in Portland have started a green business powered by bikes. Portland Pedal Power has partnered with retailers, restaurants, and CSAs to deliver food to your door via bike. Besides delivery, PPP also does marketing and mobile signage for local businesses. They also have a slick website to boot so check them out if you’re in Portland.
