Sept 19, 2009: Party Bike

[xoxoxoBruce]

In Portland Oregon they like to party with beer, pizza, and music like everyone else.
But being a city heavily infested with hippies and greenies, they want to be ecologically correct.

Voilà, the party bike...

I just witnessed the unveiling of something truly in the Portland spirit: A locally built cargo bike that holds two kegs,
below an inlaid wood bar. A rear rack is built to hold a stack of pizzas; below that a wood-paneled pannier is in fact
a compact sound system. It’s made in Portland. And it’s beautiful.

Beer, pizza & music.

This party is entirely human-powered, with the help of nine gears — any more would allow a rider to go faster than would be entirely wise, explained Ross. Sturdy looking disc brakes and chunky tires with full fenders adorn both wheels.

Yeah, at about 400 lbs, best take it easy.
