Thank Goodness For Entrepreneurs

Even though different government agencies would love to tax and regulate new businesses to death, there are always people looking to try and start up new businesses.
From the LVRJ: In some East Coast cities, bike couriers have a reputation for being freewheeling, fast and fearless, cutting in and out of traffic, traveling more quickly than the cars around them.
In Las Vegas, SinCity Portage is trying to add “friendly” to the description.
“It’s more accepted to be a gritty bike courier in other cities because that’s the social norm there,” said the company’s owner, Matt Reyes. “Here, we’re trying to break that mold. Anyone can ride a bike, but can you deliver, not just goods in an efficient manner, but can you deliver an experience? That’s what we’re focused on.”
The company opened for business in August, working out of the Gold Spike. In early January, it moved into Emergency Arts, 520 Fremont St.
“We still don’t have chairs in here yet, but we’re open and running” Reyes said.
Reyes said riders can easily clock in 20 to 45 miles a day making deliveries. Most of the company’s deliveries are food, but it has delivered a wide range of other items, including packages, medical supplies, tools, art supplies and even pet prescriptions.
The service is available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Deliveries start at $4, and riders deliver to much of downtown, with a coverage zone stretching from Oakey Boulevard to U.S. Highway 95. Plans are in the works to extend service to the Strip.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/view/paradise/bicycle-couriers-aim-gain-traction-downtown-las-vegas
Hopefully, this company will survive and expand and the government will keep their hands off.
And congratulations to the owner for taking the chance to open up a new business.
