BW Bike Issue: The Drinking Cycle
A new way to pub crawl
by Josh Gross @TheJoshGross

After spending the last few years in Boise flipping houses, Mike Thomas went to visit friends in Bend, Ore., and found an unusual business opportunity cruising the streets: Cycle Pub.

Thomas knew he had to bring it back to Boise.

"Boise and Bend are very similar culturally and seeing the marriage of craft beer--which is up and coming in Boise--and bicycling, which is already established in Boise, just made sense," Thomas said. "Additionally, Boise is much flatter than Bend, so I thought it would be much more workable."

What is Cycle Pub? Call it a limo for the green movement, or a Rube Goldberg-esque way to make the several block jaunt between downtown bars more whimsical. But in straight terms, Cycle Pub is a 14-seat, pedal-powered bar that Boiseans can rent to facilitate their downtown pub crawl. It is the size of a large cargo van and looks like a beach cantina on wheels. You may have seen it out on a few test runs late in 2011, but Cycle Pub Boise officially launched in April.

That is AWESOME! This would be a perfect environment for an SSP meet.. rolling around downtown drinking craft beer on a Saturday, what could be better?
