Would You Ride on the Pedal Pub?

March 26, 2008

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?

I think it sounds cool but not for me, I don't drink!

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.

This is very, very dangerous. Biking while drinking is not safe at all. I would only do it if a sober person biked the entire time...redefining the DD!

that'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.

um....no thanks. I only drink water when I bike. Drinking martini's can't be too good for you when your biking.

I would do that in a heartbeat. I'm just mad that I didn't think of it first.

I do not think this would work out (well it would be a great work out) in the hilly town of SF.

How 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!

chief,Probably not. But maybe the barkeep could be persuaded to direct the pub through a drive thru for a few sliders! :)

I 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! :)

That sounds really strange to me. I like to get my drink on in as stationary a position as possible.

Excercise, cocktails, and all outside of a smoky bar. I'm in!

It's so silly that I'd HAVE to do it once. :)

I 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.
