The Pedicab Man: the story behind Boober Tours

“Boober Tours! The only way!”

Pedestrians stare at Kevin Spangler, the six-foot-five man wearing a long black jacket who is pedaling on a pedicab on a mid-afternoon day.

“Boober Tours! The only way!” Spangler shouts again, hoping someone will notice him. It’s a typical day for Spangler. He bikes all around Central Campus and downtown Ann Arbor, from the Diag to Rick’s to Blank Slate Creamery.

Preface: This is an essay originally published by my high school Prize Papers collection at the end of my senior year. As a senior in college graduating in three weeks, many of the same insecurities I struggled with at the time are still with me today, which is why I decided to come back to this piece. The essay has been slightly revised from its initial version.
