Looking for a unique way to go on a pub crawl and get a great workout? Then next time you're in the Minneapolis area, you should look up the folks at the Pedal Pub.
It's a bicycle powered pub — and yes, you and your fellow tourmates do the biking — that allows you to get drunk and bike at the same time. Right now you're not legally allowed to consume alcohol while biking, but there's actually a bill in the works that would allow you to do so. For now you just have to bike to a pub, drink up and bike to the next pub.
So tell me, would you want a ride on the Pedal Pub? Or do you think drinking and biking just don't mix?

ummmm....nooooo....
1bicycles, beer, hell ya! it sounds like fun.
2Many years I had a room mate who was arrested for drunk bicycling. He was seriously plowed and kept falling over. He was given DUI charge just as if he were in a car.
3that's amazing!
4Many years *ago*..
5haha. I live in Minneapolis. I have not seen this yet but I have heard of it
6This is so something my sister and her best friend would do. Of course they would convince me and everyone else to do it with them.
7Now what was the point in this invention? The only thing this is, is funny to look at as it passes us by
8That is too funny - it looks super stable too
9I initially thought it sounded cool...but when you think about it for a minute it's probably not a good idea...that is unless you have a designated..er biker. I wouldn't want to ride if I knew the person steering this contraption was hammered.
10It's so silly that I'd HAVE to do it once.
11Excercise, cocktails, and all outside of a smoky bar. I'm in!
12That sounds really strange to me. I like to get my drink on in as stationary a position as possible.
13I can just envision a bar patron tying up his or her seeing eye dog to the keg. Several beers into the tour, the dog sees a squirrel and takes the entire mobile pub on a screeming tour of Hennepin Avenue..... So, yeah, I'm in!
14haha thats awesome. i would def. try it!!
15Can I get some fresh tapas on the bar?
16chief,
Probably not. But maybe the barkeep could be persuaded to direct the pub through a drive thru for a few sliders!
17How much fun would this be for a bachelor/ette party? If you live in a city where there are lots of bar districts, I think it would be fantastic!
18I do not think this would work out (well it would be a great work out) in the hilly town of SF.
19I would do that in a heartbeat. I'm just mad that I didn't think of it first.
20um....no thanks. I only drink water when I bike. Drinking martini's can't be too good for you when your biking.
21chief,
Every once in a while a person has to fly by the seat of their thong!
22that's hysterical - i think that it's a great if not funny idea. i think tha they should look into a way to make it safe and see what happens.
23This is very, very dangerous. Biking while drinking is not safe at all.
24I would only do it if a sober person biked the entire time...redefining the DD!
I can see the fun in drinking a LITTLE bit while biking, but I would not want to bike if I were totally hammered. I'm not sure if it's even possible but it also seems pretty dangerous.
25this does sound like fun!
26I think it sounds cool but not for me, I don't drink!
