FREDERICK — MacFawn’s Green Rides has taken to the streets of downtown Frederick, offering tourists and patrons an unusual way to see the city.
Owned and operated by local brothers Kenneth MacFawn and Nick Lawrence, the new pedicab service features bicycle-drawn carriages that can either tour the downtown area or give tired walkers a lift to their next destination.
The service has been running since June, charging $2 per person for a quick lift or $1 per minute for a tour of downtown Frederick.
