They're part party bus, part group bicycle and part mobile bar. The four-wheeled contraptions go by a variety of names: pedal wagons, party bikes, pedal taverns.
They've been entertaining tourists and vexing regulators in U.S. cities for a decade now. But they are still enough of a novelty that state and city lawmakers continue to struggle with whether to allow them and, if so, what rules they should follow.
In Nashville, party bikes have become synonymous with the bachelorette parties ferrying between downtown honkytonks. The vehicles can be spotted near Big Ten university campuses in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. In the resort area of Destin, Fla., a company has even taken the idea to the water, introducing pedal-powered pontoon boats for parties.

MSP would love these intrapment veh dui.
Don't break the law and no worrys. Otherwise it's called " smugglers blues". You speed you got caught! Know one told you to speed! Leave earlier!
12:01 There is a sober company employee that is in control of the party bike in terms of its operation, steering and braking. That person is sober. No different than a designated driver. They have theses in pretty much every tourist area/beach/party town. MSP can't do a thing about it.
until some drunk falls off or throws something at someone also its open container.. passengers in ur car cant drink.. sounds like trouble to me,
Coming soon to the 'bury so Jake's pals can get to and from work in green fashion.
Pontoon boat?! Yeah drunks and water are a great combo.
Pedal Pub working with regulators means the rules will be written to squeeze out their competition.
