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Have you ever though to yourself, I wish I could reinvent the idea of a pub crawl since it is so outdated and overdone?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.

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 ...

Ice Skating Rinks

Since the Winter Olympics are starting very soon, I felt like explaining something cool about the winter and Minnesota. Scattered throughout the Twin Cities metro are Ice Skating/Hockey(with boards)/Broomball rinks, outside, in many parks. The best part of this is they are free (and maintained) for people to use. In your city, you may have ice rinks or ice arenas inside large buildings (eyesores) for you to escape your boring, non-winter reality; these are places you have to pay to enter. Well not in Minnesota. We believe that ice skating is a natural human right, or something like that. I understand you can argue that we pay taxes to keep these ice rinks around. I cannot deny that, but here is why it is better than paying your 5-10 dollar admission to skate in your arenas. 1. We pay taxes for the awesome parks (which we have in abundance and I can post on that later) already, so the land is already there. You could say we are making sure we use the park year round, by flooding it with...

Welcome To Pig's Eye

All of our cities and states have their interesting histories (not really yours, only mine does) that we can all be proud of or just baffled by. Sometimes the history is something that only the  They Might Be Giants will appreciate. Well, in the honor of Constantinople and New Amsterdam comes Pig's Eye, the city name that may only be rivaled by Porkopolis (apparently just a nickname, but a wicked nickname). Pig's Eye, the once great name of what we now all refer to as Saint Paul, was the heart and center of all culture in the entire world and center to civilization during the... I had to stop myself there. None of that culture and worldwide civilization stuff is true. Pig's Eye is just a great name for a great city. It all started with Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant , that nice looking man who thrived in a town that eventually was named after him (well at least after his nickname because I am fairly certain that his parents (nor legally through some gov...
