Pedal Pub



It seems my posts may be a little too beer related lately. But what can you expect from a home brewer (look at me act like an expert after brewing just one delicious batch of beer)?

Recently I was invited to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. The plan was to ride on a gigantic quadracycle and drink beer for a few hours. Drink beer in the streets? What? In traffic? On a quadracycle (I didn't even know that was a real term)? Something didn't seem right/legal about this.

Let me introduce you to the Pedal Pub centered in wonderful Minneapolis, MN (you know, one of those cities in the state of Minnesota that I want you to move to). Don't worry, the person driving does not drink, you are just the human power of the operation.

Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I could spend time with my friends getting exercise while we drink beer, rather than putting on millions of micrograms in each sitting? You have the opportunity here in Minnesota!

Have you ever though to yourself, I wish I could reinvent the idea of a pub crawl since it is so outdated and overdone? You have the opportunity here in Minnesota!

Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I could join my friends and family and pedal a quadracycle through a beautiful city (with multiple routes, including custom routes), eat some snacks, drink some beer, laugh, wave to people on the street, and brag to my friends who don't live by me that I got to do all of the above on a sunny weekend? You have the opportunity here in Minnesota!

There are a some rules, which I think are important and make me enjoy it even more.
1. No yelling at people on the street.
2. Definitely don't yell at or act/speak lewd/inappropriate to children.
3. Don't get drunk and unruly.
4. Probably some others that mean the same thing as, don't be an idiot or jerk.

Do you not drink beer or alcohol? That is fine. You can take the trip with Root Beer and I imagine other non alcoholic drinks. We don't stop people from having a fun time with their friends on a quadracycle throughout a city in Minnesota based on their drink choice like your city most likely does.

What kind of get off your lazy butt (or sitting on your butt and burning calories by pedaling) drinking activities does your sluggish and repetitive drinking games city have to offer.

Meat Raffle!

In the wonderful land of Minnesota, I am crowned King of the Meat Raffle (more on that story later). You are most likely asking, "What is a Meat Raffle?" It is exactly what it sounds like,  raffling off meat . In the great state of Minnesota (and also Wisconsin (remember, moving to Wisconsin is closer to me than staying in your rotting meat state), which is next to Minnesota for those who are poor with geography) we know how to have a good time when at a bar, pub, or out to grab a bite to eat. Apparently we raffle off meat at the same time to increase the amount of good times had by all. I know this idea seems hard to grasp, so I will walk everybody through it. Some person unveils a table full of meat (everybody is in awe at this point). The host(s) informs everybody what charity, athletic booster, school program they are raising money for (giving money to good causes and possibly getting free meat for it is a good thing). The host(s) then walk table to table and stool to sto...

Cycles, Cycles, Cycles

After describing the amazing Pedal Pub to everybody, I decided to make cycles (in their many forms) be the next tangent for the foreseeable future (just to clarify, I do not mean unforeseeable, because I do know how many posts this tangent will contain). I know most of you were thinking after the last post (feel free to tell me what happens when somebody assumes), that gigantic quadracycle looked amazing, but how would that be a practical way to traverse the city, especially since you need 8-10 people to power it. This is correct, unless all my friends move to Minnesota, then we will always have an abundant supply of leg power. Well, do I have a solution for you. Bicycles. 2 wheels instead of 4. What a simple fix. Sure, each of your cities has bikes and many of you (hopefully) own a bike. I'm so glad for you, what a great accomplishment for your city (spoken in the tone when you demean somebody by saying "that's cute"). I did a little research (known as hanging ...

Mystery Science Theater 3000

All the cities that we live in have a history associated with them and some people have said that our history defines us. If this is true, and it is going to be true for my argument today, then we should take a long look into where we live and see if your city has something this great in its past. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K for the cool kids) is a show that ran from 1988 to 1999 and taught us all how to love life and to laugh once again. Every episode we visited our friends Joel, Mike, Crow, Tom Servo, Gypsy, Cambot, The Forrester's, Brain Guy, Bobo, the beloved TV's Frank, Trumpy, and so many more. These friends taught us one of the most important life lessons of all; it is good to laugh, not only to laugh, but laugh at the world around us. If you were sitting in a boring high school/college class, what better way to get through the class then to crack jokes (either silent or out loud if you had the courage). Was work incredibly boring, annoying, or tiring? How abo...
