Nashville Pedal Tavern!

[Jeffstuff!]

Hi Zombies!
Returned from a short trip to visit my kids in Nashville, TN. Couldn't believe a Pedal powered bar on the streets of Nashville. you can book private parties or take a chance who'll you ride with on a public tour. About a 90 minute ride, several routes to pick from $40-45 per person, 21 years or older, BYOB. Need to have 6 riders minimum,15 maximum. 6 bar stools (with pedals) down each side. Bench across the back. It also has electric assist, regular road navigation lights and party lights Slow as molasses in the winter. Seems to be a traffic hazard, even without Booze.

Yeah, that thing's been around for quite awhile.
I've seen pics of it, but never seen one in real life.

Can't believe they charge THAT much to ride it, though.
At THAT price, drinks should be "on the house"!

And for those curious on how these beasts work, I took a photo of one I was on way back in the day.
Notice the multiple intermediate jackshafts. needed to lessen the accumulative load on consecutive chains.

Why do the pedals look wrong direction? can't pedal with frame in the way

Yes - they look 90 deg out compared to the one in the video. The pedal blocks on one station, presumably for the short of stature are comedy.

You pay that much, BYOB, and still have to work at pedalling to get anywhere? Not this little black duck. What do you get for your money?
