Offers of Beer Party Bike United Kingdom

1. What is a beer bike?

Beer bikes come from Europe, originating in the Netherlands and spreading to France and Germany. Essentially, they are group-powered vehicles, with multiple passengers pedalling and a single driver controlling the direction and braking. Though not the most efficient mode of transport, they allow multiple people to sit together, often facing each other, as they travel around an urban area. Add beer (or prosecco, or coffee, or something else) to the mix, and it’s a novel, enjoyable way to get people together for a ride to remember!

Most beer bikes come with colourful, creative designs, sometimes reflecting the character of the city that they’re located in. To add to the fun, they might have lights to brighten up evening tours and sound systems that passengers can connect to via Bluetooth to blast some tunes and attract revellers to the bike!

3. Who can join a beer bike tour?

They generally seat between six and sixteen people. Most or all of the seats will have a set of pedals (there are often a small number without). This makes them the ideal choice for stag, hen and birthday parties, as well as staff parties for small businesses, or any group of adults who want to spend time together in the city centre. As well as maximum capacities, beer bikes also have minimum passenger numbers in place to make sure that enough power is provided to move the vehicle. In general, the bike is hired out by a group of the right size and they enjoy a private tour, however, there are some companies that let you make a booking as an individual or small group and join other passengers.

In most cases, regardless of whether you’re going to be drinking alcohol or not, you have to be at least eighteen years old to join the party. You don’t, on the other hand, need to be a Chris Hoy or Bradley Wiggins in the making, or have any experience of cycling in a city, because the driver takes care of all the manoeuvres.

5. Is a beer bike ride safe?

Climbing aboard a beer bike and taking a trip around a city centre is a very safe experience. Unlike bicycles, these vehicles are stable at all speeds thanks to their four wheels and chassis design, and they never travel at high speeds. Crucially, the driver is in full control of the bike. They have sole use of steering and braking systems, as well as directing the passengers’ pedalling - when and how hard - to keep the bike moving at the optimum speed. Under no circumstances does the driver partake of the drinks being enjoyed by the passengers.
