As we mentioned last year, after conquering Europe, the beer bike phenomenon was poised to take on America. The pedal pub revolution has now arrived in the form of Pedal Crawler, "a party bike that is a mind-blowing experience for your customers."

Featuring a premium sound system, LED party lights, and comfortable seats and shade, the Pedal Crawler is a mobile party for 15 passengers and a business opportunity for the visionary entrepreneur. "Appealing to bike riders, beer enthusiasts, university students, professionals and tourists, the Pedal Crawler is the perfect eco-tainment for anyone who enjoys a new adventure!"
