Party bike
A party bike, fietscafe, pedal crawler, pedibus, cycle pub, beer bike, bierbike, megacycle, or birriciclo is a multi-passenger human powered vehicle, invented in 1997 by Het Fietscafe BV, The Netherlands (www.fietscafe.nl). A party bike is sometimes mistaken for a larger scale version of a pedicab, but it is not since the party bike is powered by the passengers while the steering and braking is controlled by a driver who does not provide pedaling power. Some also double as rolling refreshment stands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 A ten person free-wheelin' fiesta )〕 Human-powered party bikes have been in use for decades and have grown into several families of vehicles for a variety of purposes, including tourist rentals and private touring.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 It's a pub its a bike )〕 They are often available at tourist attractions where they are rented by the hour or day and often serve as a rolling refreshment stand.〔 When used in conjunction with alcohol, a party bike usually is hired with a driver.

A modern tourist party bike usually features open seating for eight or more riders in a sociable configuration. These vehicles are often designed to look like early 20th century trolley cars and have side seating for the pedalers, a bench seat in the rear, rack-and-pinion steering, and a canopy top. A few manufacturers offer an electric assist motor to aid the riders on hilly terrain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Pedal Crawler )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The party bike )〕 Modern party bikes are typically fifteen to twenty feet long, seven feet wide and eight feet tall. Because they are driven on municipal streets, some have headlights, tail lights, and turn signals, as well as lighting for use at night.〔〔
