We have fun in Ballard too.

The CycleSaloon!

From the FAQ:

Quote:

Who should rent the CycleSaloon?

Anyone who wants a new and exciting way to do a pub crawl or a brewery tour! We rent the whole Cycle Saloon for private parties where you can customize your own route. Or grab a seat and come along on a tour of some of Ballard and Fremont’s best breweries!

Can the CycleSaloon go up hills?

Little ones. The CycleSaloon was invented in the Netherlands, where it is very flat. Routes with grades greater than 5-6% for any extended distance may require riders to get off and push. None of the hills on our routes have required pushing (thus far….)

Do you provide a driver?

Always. Our insurance provider requires it.

Who’s in charge of the CycleSaloon?

The driver. If you act in a dangerous manner, you’ll be asked to get off and find you own way home. You can imagine the difficulty we had finding insurance for this thing in America. We need to keep it.

The renter. Only one person on each tour can be the renter and that person is the only person the driver answers to. Can you imagine 16 people arguing about when to leave the bar? We don’t want our drivers getting in the middle of that!

They have a pedal-paddleboat too.

May 1920. "Sailor Tony Pizzo passing through Washington on a Coast to Coast bicycle run handcuffed to his machine. The handcuffs were sealed by Mayor Hylan in New York April 24 and are not to be opened until his return to that city. Pizzo made a California to New York trip in like manner in 1919."

Must have had a support car with tires and ammo.

I guess back then you would just squat by the side of the road to take a dump?

Gravdigr · 06-09-2015, 03:55 PM

Tweren't no rupee-dispensing toilets in those days...

Dude looks familiar. And has a flat tire.

Gravdigr · 07-01-2015, 12:09 PM

Not very. You been behind that damn desk all day. It's 5:00. Now ya gotta pedal that bitch home. Uphill.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-02-2015, 07:49 AM

Then pedal to the desk.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-06-2015, 01:35 PM

Mirror wheels. Don't be surprised to find yourself in the middle of a dog fight.
They look awfully narrow for cobbled/brick streets.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-06-2015, 01:37 PM

Or you could buy a motorcycle and retire the pedals.

Griff · 07-11-2015, 09:51 AM

So French mtn bikers jumped Le Tour. In America you'd be arrested in France you have a beer after.

If you keep watching the prep is more interesting than the jump.

I never realized the leading motorcade was so close to the riders. Seems like that would be a lot of exhaust to be breathing in while you're trying to race.
