Drinking and riding isn't legal for everyone—but it is legal on a vehicle known as the Pedal Wagon, which seats 15 people around a mobile bar, thanks to a new state law.
"A newly enacted Ohio law means Cincinnatians can now enjoy an adult beverage while puttering around downtown on the Pedal Wagon," reports Andy Brownfield.
The Pedal Wagon seats 15 people around a bar, which can then be powered by pedaling. Until now, passengers were not permitted to drink alcohol while the vehicle was moving.
In existence since 2012, the vehicle is popular—35,000 riders have hopped on in the last three years.
