Daniel) and Andrea Bidelman (Scott Muskin), grandfather of Shawn Carter (Raina), Jordan Seebach (Elizabeth), Logan Robbins (Ben), Grace Polzin, and Campbell Muskin, and great-grandfather of Samuel and Willow Robbins, Jack Seebach, and Amos Carter, died on January 19, 2022 after living a long, industrious, and courageous life. The oldest of five children, Mike, brother to Denise Barker, John, Jim, and Dick, was born in Elkhart, Indiana to Mary and Dennis Bidelman. A strong work ethic was instilled from a very early age by his father.

His formative years were spent at St. Joseph grade school, which was across the street from their house and attached to their home church. He graduated from St. Joseph's Catholic High School in South Bend, Indiana in 1957.

Ride-sharing pioneer Sidecar to shut down ride, delivery service

However, that business model put it in competition with companies like Postmates. Harry Campbell, a Los Angeles driver and author of The Rideshare Guy blog, said he was not surprised by the shutdown. While Sidecar was first with many innovative features that benefited drivers, he said passengers found it confusing when compared with Uber’s “just press a button” model. “Sidecar didn’t have the passenger base to be even a viable part-time option for drivers outside of San Francisco” where Sidecar had its strongest presence, Campbell said. “Drivers would sign up and might get a ride every hour or two. They’d leave the app on and never get the clicks.” That led to a dearth of customers and a downward spiral of not many drivers. “This is really a scale business,” Dawson said. “When you’re in third place, it’s hard to make the economics work and get the critical mass you need of both riders and drivers.” Uber and Lyft are now replicating many features that Sidecar initiated, Campbell said, including letting passengers going the same way split rides, letting drivers input their destinations, and letting passengers specify favorite drivers. Sunil’s Medium post enumerated still more firsts for Sidecar: a marketplace model where drivers set their own price and turn-by-turn directions, for instance. A tech entrepreneur, Paul founded e-mail filtering company Brightmail and co-founded Web service Freeloader. He also invested in other startups as an angel investor and a venture capitalist. To keep in touch with Sidecar’s audience, Paul typically picked up Sidecar passengers on his way to or from work. “Our vision is to reinvent transportation and we’ve achieved that with ridesharing and deliveries,” he wrote on Medium. “It is, however, a bittersweet victory.” Sidecar said it has 38 employees and declined to comment about whether any would be laid off. “It’s a sad day for drivers and passengers, because competition is always a good thing,” Campbell said. “Having one less option is not the best.” Carolyn Said is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
