a new kind of bar

Perhaps this is old hat to some of you cosmopolitan people but I saw it yesterday and said WTF.





Traveling from bar to bar on a fifteen-seat, pedal-powered vehicle with a sober driver steering sounds like a concept that could go far in Denver, a city where both the beer and bicycling scenes are in high gear. That's what Nick Vannucci will be counting on when his Denver Pedal Bargets under way this week. The bike/bar concept, which got its start in Europe, has already taken off in several American cities, including Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville and Austin. And Vannucci thinks the green factor could further fuel its success here. "We're not using any fuel," he notes. "We're not even using any electricity to power our sound system and light system. We're completely green. You're getting exercise at the same time, but you're also metabolizing your alcohol faster while you're pedaling. So you're actually getting less drunk, which some people might not want — but it's good while you're doing this tour."

I have seen this in Denver before but isn't it breaking the open container law?

This has to be a joke. Take a close look at the picture, some drunk idiot is going to fall off those seats and get run over. LOL

No way you could get liability insurance for that thing. Lawyers are going to have a field day.

Oops, I am so gullible.


"While the Denver Pedal Bar features a beer barrel and a tap, as well as those sound and light systems, there won't be any actual beer drinking allowed because of Denver's open-container laws, Vannucci says. "

I have seen them running around Denver but the open container law would be a damper on the trip. Better to go to New Orleans or St. Louis if you are going to rent one.

Hey I am all for partying and fun and DD sober drivers. Its just that vehickle looks seriously unsafe. Where are the airbags, seat belts, ABS brakes, and electronic stability control. J/K

Just being a drunk pedestrian walking around isn't all that safe, I know from experience. LOL

The only road that vehicle belongs on is maybe the 16th st. mall with no vehicle traffic. Or Pearl St. in Boulder, they would love it.

Not only that vehicle but I am also seeing passenger golf carts driving around Coors Field. They are supposed to be giving rides for free and you just tip the drivers. How soon before either of these vehicles is creamed by a light rail train or a truck?
