WHY THE NASHVILLE BAR BIKE?

Nashville’s most affordable 15-person beer bike offers the ultimate pub crawl experience for your vacation. Pedal your bicycle bar along the best sights and taverns on Broadway and Music Row. This group tour is perfect for birthday celebrations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate outings, and team building exercises.

​Our tour is not just grinding gears and turning sprockets, it is a BYOB party on wheels. We provide the driver, ice, cooler, plastic cups, and premium sound system for all your favorite contemporary and country music. Pedaling is not required for all participants, as the bike features an electric motor. The motor keeps the bike from crawler speed, but does not turn the vehicle into a rocket. Expect a stop at one of the city’s famed clubs or dive bars.

• Chevron down How does this work? How do I book?

BOOK YOUR RIDE ONLINE!

Online bookings only, sorry, no phone bookings! Our calendar is LIVE so you’ll only see the latest availability. (We CANNOT take a reservation via email, and we cannot provide availability through email either.)

Show up & Buy drinks at our location!

Ice and coolers are on us while your bartender actively pours. Our experienced staff uses the onboard sound system to pump their custom music playlist from start to finish all while keeping you safe on the roads. We are a party bike! So we make ONE stop in the middle of the ride to let you stretch your legs, use the bathroom, etc., then keep the party going on the bike. Pedal. Party. Drink. Repeat.

• Chevron down How many people can ride? What if I have more or less?

MINIMUM = 6 PEOPLE / MAXIMUM = 15 PEOPLE

There are six bikes seats on each side (two wheel well seats don’t pedal) and four people fit along the backbench. Seating type on a public ride is NOT guaranteed. Our staff sits you accordingly. If you have less than six people, you can still book a public tour and we’ll put people together to fill your bike and make you new friends!

If you’ve booked less than six people there is a chance your ride won’t go out. If this does happen, we will contact you and either reschedule you OR give you a full refund.

HAVE MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE?

No problem! Just book more than one bike! Private rides of more than one bike are NOT guaranteed to leave at the same time, but we will do our best to accommodate!

• Chevron down What should I bring? Where can I buy drinks?

No need to bring ice, coolers, or drinks. We have you covered. We have beer and seltzers for pre-order during booking or on location at our check-in counter. Due to city regulations only beer and seltzers are allowed on the party bike. NO GLASS, LIQUOR OR WINE IS ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

CASH & I.D.

You MUST be 21 to ride! Tennessee State Law says you MUST show us your ID! Everyone must carry an ID with them at all times. Yes, even grandma must have hers!

Our bikes have storage bins up top just like an airplane, only smaller. We can store purses, wallets, small bags, umbrellas, cell phones, etc. Large coolers and suitcases will not fit on our bikes.

YOUR WAIVER

We have electronic waivers which means your waiver can be done online from a computer or your cell phone. You do NOT have to print your waiver and bring it with you.

• Chevron down Do we really have to pedal?

WELL, HECK YEA!

70% of the power we need to run is provided by YOU! The remaining 30% of the power is supplied by our bike’s unique electric assist motor.

Sprocket Rocket is not only the best Party Bike and Tavern Tour in Nashville, but also the easiest to pedal! That 30% boost is a game-changer, allowing us to pedal for longer than any other pedal bike downtown!

SEE WHY WE HAVE 4,000+ 5-STAR REVIEWS!

What a fun time! I wasn't overly excited about it going in but my wife and I wanted to try it and I am so glad we did. Our driver Gentry was very engaging and turned out to be a top notch DJ while Gabby tended the bar and kept the dance party going down Broadway and all around. 5 stars and will do it again when we go back with friends. The pedaling was easy (motor assisted) and all around an amazing time.

So Fun! Josh and Caitlyn were the absolute best and kept the energy and fun going! Great music and laughing not to mention FREEZING! We were there on the coldest night and had scheduled a 9:45PM ride. We are 4 boomer women; bundled up pedaled laughed singing to great music and everyone on the street were yeehawing and waving. The time flew by because of Josh and Caitlyn were the best hosts! Highly recommend this activity to see the lights and people. Would definitely do it again!

Such a fun time! Laughed the entire time! We had the best driver in Mike and the greatest bartender in Tracy. The music they played and the energy they had made the whole experience so much better! Biking was easy as it is assisted. Something to keep in mind is that at some point on weekend nights they close off Broadway to vehicles. Glad we took the 5:55 tour as Broadway was still open. If we picked an evening tour, wouldn’t have been able to pedal down Broadway which was so fun!

Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Nashville. From check in to the final drop off, everything went super smooth, our group could not have been happier. What really made this ride so much fun was our driver and bartender. Dom and Caroline really did a great job keeping the party going. From the stellar playlists, to the impressive dance moves, they made sure everyone was having a great time. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was our first time doing a bike bar tour and it went beyond our expectations!! The driver Dominic was awesome and hilarious and Caroline was fantastic with her dance moves! The music choice really made the ride exciting and everyone was having a blast!! Would highly recommend them and can’t wait to do it again!!!

These pedal taverns are always fun, but this time, thanks to Andrew and Caroline we had an amazing experience. They had the best, most friendly energy. Andrew was a great driver and party captain and Caroline has dance moves unmatched. Together they were quite the team! And as the pregnant sober one on the trip, the fact I had that much fun drinking water is a testament to how great they are!

Awesome time. Fern and McKenna are the best. Don’t waste your time with the pedal tavern.

If I could give this more stars I would! I loved it! Gentry & fern were way more than I expected! I definitely want to come back & do it again with them!

If you are questioning what peddle bar service to use, then look no further. All the staff were great and Geoff was the best tour guide! Great energy, great music, and great company. Easily one of the most fun things I did in Nashville this time around and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Allison from NJ was the best ever. I can’t say enough about her. She made the trip so fun and she is awesome. She truly deserves a raise. 5 + stars for her and the tour.

Leia is the bomb!! She was our host, driver AND DJ! She had a great mix of tunes. And she made changes on the fly that fit everyone in the group! She kept us pumped up the entire time! We definitely would ask for her next time!!

Our driver, Caroline, was amazing and went above and beyond to make our experience more than we could ever hoped for. You would have thought she was one of us. Her energy was high from start to finish, and her dancing and singing skills were exceptional. Thanks so much for the great experience Caroline!! We were able to put in our song request and danced the entire time, including participating in some drinking games along the way.

First time in Nashville, my fiance booked the sprocket rocket and it did NOT disappoint! This was the most fun I had here yet! We had the pleasure of having Fern as our party bike captain, that man is legendary. Give that man a raise! Had such a blast 10/10 highly recommend this, it gets you in the party mood, breaks you out of your shell and ready for the one hell of a party that Nashville is! You meet some great people and also cant forget leaving with a nice buzz depending on how much you drink! Every time we come back here the sprocket rocket will always be on the list! Thank you for an unforgettable time.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a pedal bike tour in Nashville, and I can’t rave enough about our driver, Allison. From the moment we hopped on the bike, her energy was absolutely unmatched. She brought an incredible vibe that made the whole experience unforgettable for everyone in our group. She effortlessly kept us entertained with her music choices, games, and dance moves, all while ensuring our safety and comfort. Her ability to engage with everyone and keep the momentum going was truly impressive. Not only did Allison make the experience fun, but she also made it feel personal. She took the time to get to know each of us and tailored the trip to us, which made it even more special. Her positive attitude and infectious energy turned what could have been just another tour into a highlight of our trip. If you’re in Nashville and looking for a unique and enjoyable way to see the city and have a party, I highly recommend booking a pedal bike tour with Allison. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has an amazing time. Thank you, Allison, for an unforgettable experience!

This was my 4th tour with Sprocket Rocket and hands down, Super Fern was the absolute best! He took this already fun activity and made it next level. If you are thinking about doing this, think no more! You will NOT regret it!

Had a great time! Geoff introduced us to the other riders and we worked together to have a great time! Made sure to play upbeat music and kept us all enjoying the ride, even getting other people along the route to participate with the games along the way! Will definitely use you again!

Fern!!!! That’s all I have to say! This was the absolute best time. We have been talking about it for days!!! Ask for Fern and you will not be disappointed! Not to mention that it was 97 degrees that day and still had a fantastic time!!! Going again

We had such a great time on our tour! Gentry was a legendary guide who had us laughing out loud the whole time. 11/10 would recommend, definitely the highlight of our trip!!

We had Allison and she was AMAZING! Great music playlist and she brought the energy!!! Everyone needs to experience Allison! Thanks for making my first time experience so much fun!! Will tell friends coming to Nashville to request her! I'm pretty sure all the other party bikes passing us by were jealous. It was a fun party!!!

what everyone is saying Find out why people love our Nashville tours

• This is an absolute must do in Nashville! We went for the CMA Fest but chose the Midtown tour which we actually enjoyed a lot because it's really not that far from downtown and we got to see parts of Nashville we might not have seen otherwise! They take you to 2 different bar stops with drink specials and then you drive around some more. Way way too much fun. But bring lots and lots of drinks so you don't run out! haha!! We had Ryan as our driver and he was a ton of fun.. we were only a group of 4 but there were 14 people on our bike, 2 groups of 2 girls and a family of 5, everyone was so much fun and so friendly. A definite must!! ILoveVacations, O. 6/06/2018
• Nashville Pedal tavern was FANTASTIC throughout the entire experience! I had to change our reservation three different times and they were fast, communicative and easy to work with every time. This was probably the most fun thing I did during our bachelor party weekend and keep in mind we went SKYDIVING the day before so that's really saying something! Staff was professional and communicated everything well and most importantly made every part of the experience an absolute blast. Would recommend to anyone and absolutely want to do it again if and when I return to Nashville. Kramer, C. 5/06/2018
• Took a Pedal Tavern tour this past weekend on Sunday and it was an absolute blast! We had a group of 3 so we took a Public Tour and we lucked out with a really fun crew. Nashville is a crazy place and even at 4pm on a Sunday it was a party - this is definitely the best way to bar hop around Nashville. Our guide, Jeremiah, knew all of the best stops and we were lucky enough to have drink specials everywhere we went because we were with Pedal Tavern! Will definitely visit Nashville again and will for sure take a Pedal Tavern tour! Frank, M. 7/07/2018
• I have booked the pedal tavern for the 4th time and have never had a bad time ever. This past weekend at the CMA's we booked it again for my Daughters 21rst Birthday Celebration with 5 of us there celebrating together. We had an awesome group with us also celebrating a Birthday. Our pedal director/Bartender "NICK" was the absolute BOMB and made our experience even more a BLAST!! From the time of signing in with the also NICK and until the time we exited the Pedal Tavern was the Best time ever! THANK YOU!!! Dawn H. 6/06/2018
• As a Nashville resident & also the maid of honor in my best friend\\\\\\\'s wedding, it was a no-brainer that I would have all of the girls from Ohio come HERE for the bachelorette festivities. We booked the Pedal Tavern for the final night of the girls' visit and they are still raving about how great it was!! Our driver was Chandler and he was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a blast! The tour route was flexible, as we decided to skip one of the stops and just pedal around a little longer. I HIGHLY recommend the Pedal Tavern team - as they are in a league of their own in regards to other "pedal bars" in town. Great company, great drivers, and people that sincerely know their industry & the downtown Nashville experience. Jenny B. 5/06/2020
• We booked two bikes for a corporate event and had an absolute blast! The guides were fun, energetic and had a great sense of humor. Make sure all participants know that you are actually required to pedal to move the bikes, however, there are 3 seats on the back bench for those that can't/don't want to. Whether you are family, friends or colleagues, the Pedal Tavern is an absolute must while you are in Music City. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to see the sights, be outdoors and have a great time. It doesn't hurt that wrist bands are provided for additional drink discounts as you bar hop 🙂 Tara R. 5/06/2020
• The Nashville Pedal Tavern is hands down one of the best experiences that you can have in town. We gathered up 32 of our closest friends and rented both bikes on a Saturday morning to pre-game for a charity event later that day down on Broadway. Our entire group raved about the entire experience! Angie & Brian took fabulous care of us by keeping the party going and ensuring that everyone is safe and happy. The Nashville Pedal Tavern is a must do experience in music city! Trust me, I've done it 5 times now in less than 2 years. David, N. 5/06/2020

This tour was phenomenal. Both Eli and River were exceptional hosts, and led a super fun ride. We booked the 4pm slot and caught the sunset over the Mississippi. If you are reading this, book your trip, you won’t regret it!

So fun! Played our own playlist. Our guide took us to a few places to check out and stopped along the way for us to take pictures! There were two parties and he took us to an amazing lunch spot he recommended! He was very nice and really flexible and fun!

Great day on the NOLA! Bike Bar. Brian was great. Shared some historical information about NOLA I found very interesting. We had a fun day celebrating a friend's birthday. Will definitely do again the next time I have the pleasure of visiting.

Our group had the best time with Joshua!! The bike was so much fun and we got to go to some great non-touristy spots. Highly recommend if you’re looking to explore a bit outside of the French Quarter. Thanks again Joshua!

Pedal Paddle: Across Scotland in an Amphibious Bicycle Canoe?!

Previous Dispatch From Wed Aug 14, 2024

Bitesized Bikepacking: The Hub & Pisgah Tavern (Video)

Steadfast DIYer Ben Kilner is currently on a journey across Scotland in a self-made amphibious bicycle canoe, paddling and pedaling his way from Fort William to Inverness to raise money for charity and spark creativity and a passion for adventure in others. Learn more here…

I recently found myself deeply distracted when I stumbled upon Ben Kilner’s Instagram account and got lost in the fascinating videos documenting the two-month build of his latest amphibious bicycle canoe and the lead-up to his current trip across Scotland (not to mention the super satisfying wood shed restoration video). Others have clearly taken notice of his distinctive projects, and Ben has amassed nearly 700,000 followers on Instagram, TikTok , and Facebook.

Ben calls his amphibious bicycle canoe drive mechanism Pedal Paddle and says the design intent is to transition seamlessly from paddling on water to cycling with bike wheels for land travel. As evidenced in the videos, it works exceptionally well across various terrain and water depths. He has built several of his own and inspired many people around the globe to create their unique take on the hybrid machine. The latest version is built from three and a half scrap bikes and his most elegant self-made canoe yet. His creations are truly captivating, even if they’re well beyond the limits of my mechanical understanding, and they’re made possible through Ben’s impressive ingenuity and resourcefulness.

“Sea to Sea for Charity” is Ben’s current mission, and his Scotland journey has already raised around £3,800 ($4,900) in support of A Leg to Stand On, an organization that helps bring mobility to children in developing countries with limb disabilities, turning their dreams of moving into reality (you can make a small donation here ). His ride hasn’t been without issue, and the rugged terrain has already tested his latest amphibious canoe. In a post yesterday, he shared news of a catastrophic failure of an axle-to-wheel sprocket, but he’s still rolling onward!

If you’re on either platform, I highly recommend taking a moment to explore some of Ben’s Instagram or TikTok videos to see his amazing invention in action.

It is almost hill climb season, I guess... although we reckon cutting off your drops in the search of a tiny weight saving to smash it up a five-minute climb and do no further riding that day is a very different vibe to ditching the drops on the bike you do all your riding on.

Jo spotted this on Facebook where, unsurprisingly, it's getting quite a lot of attention. No regrets for Brett the bike's owner, in fact he's saying he "should've done it sooner".

"Use 'em or lose 'em... I just cut them off," he told the entertained masses. "I have been considering doing this for years and as I had spare bars lying around... did it. I just don't use the drops at all and ride the hoods for everything and it somehow feels better, I can't explain it, it just feels perfect with no position compromises. If you are like me and you have some spare bars, try it."

Don't encourage the hill climbers, Brett, they need no convincing to mutilate poor bicycles...

Need we ask if any of you are tempted? More importantly has anyone done it before? Any regrets? On the plus side, you're going to get slightly more bang for your buck out of bar tape and eradicate that silly dead leg every cyclist only gives themself once if you carelessly smash your knee/quad into a drop. On the other side, not being able to... well, use the drops is something of a vote-swinger for us... but I guess if, like Brett, you never use them anyway, that's less of an issue.

Oh, and no, you won't be able to call in that warranty cover if something goes wrong... but you probably knew that anyway if you're prepping to take a saw to your handlebars.

Defending champion, Demi Vollering, relegates Chloe Dygert to second place in the individual time trial, besting her time by a staggering 5.21 seconds! 🤯⏱️ #TDFF2024 pic.twitter.com/CVQry7II1B — Eurosport (@eurosport) August 13, 2024

You know what? I'm a fan of the couple of sprint stages into short, almost prologue-length, time trial that the Tour de France Femmes experimented with in the Netherlands (admittedly, as the teams would point out, having the latter two of those three on the same day does create a bit of a logistical headache).

Granted, also, the organisers have been somewhat limited by the pancake-like terrain on offer, but it turned the short TT into a sort of yellow jersey handicap race against the clock where the top sprinters get a bit of a head start due to bonus seconds won on the opening two days, and try to fend off the specialists and GC favourites.

We wondered if Charlotte Kool might be able to cling onto yellow for another stage, but alas not, Lorena Wiebes the closest of the sprinters to taking the race lead. However, ultimately it was, like we suspect a couple more days later in the week, one for Demi Vollering, the 2023 TDFF champ taking yellow before the race even leaves her home country or climbs a hill of note.

It continues the dominance Dutch riders have held over the race since its return to the calendar in 2022. Of 19 stages across three editions so far, 12 have gone to riders from the Netherlands, while the yellow jersey has been worn by a Dutch rider after all but six stages, Lotte Kopecky the only person to disrupt that GC dominance. You probably wouldn't bet against Vollering holding yellow all the way to Alpe d'Huez either.

Olympic champion Grace Brown gave her golden TT bike a first run today, a puncture deflating her chances. Of the other notable Olympic performers, Chloe Dygert was second, road race champ Kristen Faulkner fifth, and Anna Henderson 10th. Decent showings by many, but today (and maybe this entire race) is all about Vollering.

Positive signs? Labour's new Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has shared these photos on social media, reporting having spent the morning out cycling the Trans-Pennine Trail (N62) with Active Travel Commissioner Chris Boardman and road.cc contributor and active travel author/journalist Laura Laker.

Comments section time...

A great story for getting followers who haven't actually read today's blog telling you on Facebook that hill climbers have been doing this for years. And of course said hill climbers sending in their gramme-saving sawing, this courtesy of Dale Wilkes...

As a couple of you have touched on, the remarkable thing about the drop-less wonder that made today's blog is that it wasn't done for hill climb purposes, just a gravel-riding preference. The other context we've heard people do similar is on a commuter if you don't want to buy a pair of bullhorn bars. In fact, ultra-cycling legend Steve Abraham replied to one of our social media posts saying he'd done the same "and flipped them upside down to make bullhorns for my fixie".

Mark Wynn-Edwards also told us: "Yep, did this years ago on one of my travel bikes. Best thing ever, doesn't get in the way and I didn't ever drop down there anyway."

Paul Ruffy:  "Well I'd probably reach for them and eat tarmac. But seriously they are there for a reason. Adds another position to alleviate any pressure points, more aero (sometimes) and also I think much safer for descending at high speed."

billymansell:  "Cutting off the drops will have been a great idea right up until the point when you're going down a really fast descent and you reach for the drops..."

Of course, my favourite comments were of the less serious kind...

hawkinspeter:  "To enforce my use of the drops, I'm going to remove the tops from my handlebar."

slc:  "I removed the wheels to get below the wind. Seem to work pretty well as I can't feel a breeze no matter how hard I pedal."

Anyway, if you get bored of riding without parts of your bars and need a new fix, try this one, courtesy of live blog favourite Chad Tavernia ...

It doesn't get much better for Charlotte Kool and dsm-firmenich PostNL than this. Dutch rider in the Netherlands, in yellow, winning the first two stages of the Tour de France Femmes. SD Worx looked in control, launching Lorena Wiebes at what seemed to be the perfect moment. But, as her sprint went on, Kool closed, picking a gap between Marianne Vos and Wiebes perfectly, punching through and winning it on the line. 

Wiebes and Vos took second and third, this afternoon's TT is going to be very interesting to see if Kool can hold onto yellow for another day, the short six-kilometre course perhaps just about in the wheelhouse of the peloton's fastest sprinters. The yellow jersey has a 14-second advantage over Anniina Ahtosalo and Wiebes, 16 seconds on Vos and Elisa Balsamo, and 20 seconds on the rest of the contenders. This is going to be fun.

You might have seen this YouGov research doing the rounds since the weekend, but wow, give me the confidence of the six per cent of Brits who believe they could qualify for the 2028 Olympic Games road race if they started training now. A marginally more modest five per cent said the track sprint would be one they could qualify for... 

Local road race crammed into a weekend vibes at the Tour de France Femmes today, a morning road race followed by an afternoon TT. The AM action is well underway, 40km to go there, then the riders will take to the streets of Rotterdam again this afternoon for a six-kilometre-long individual time trial, two stages that I reckon even I could get through. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be in the time limit, but still a flat 70km in the sun sounds quite pleasant.

Stage three: 

Some more reaction to yesterday before today explodes into life, yellow jersey Charlotte Kool unsurprisingly called it the "best day of my life" after winning the opening sprint. For compatriot Lorena Wiebes it certainly was not, the pre-stage favourite explaining later that the mechanical, which was in fact not a dropped chain but her derailleur "breaking off in a race incident", gave her no chance.

"This is a disappointment. I am not looking for excuses. I had been looking forward to this for a long time, but knew bad luck," she said. "You work very hard for months and then you miss out."

The Tashkent team was also a popular interview last night, four of their seven riders abandoning on stage one, the team getting a place at the race by virtue of a top-18 ranking earned through points gained in races in its home Central Asia region, rather than at more competitive European events. When the team's riders were chucked in at the calendar's biggest event, several of those riders being young, inexperienced and clearly not yet at the level for such an intense WorldTour race, more than half couldn't make it to the finish on day one.

However, the team's sports director Volodymyr Starchyk hit back at criticism of the team's performance, telling Cyclingnews  their presence at the race is a "victory" for the sport. 

"People can think everything they want. Everybody is able to think about what they want but we are here, it's something big for the nation," he said. "The first time in history an Uzbek team with all Uzbek riders so I think also for cycling it's a victory because a country completely outside of races in Europe, an Asian team coming here to Tour de France, it's never happened in history. So it's sad for results because we lose some riders today but at the same time, Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift shows people that cycling is open for the whole world."

I cut the drops off my bike for hill climbs - very happy with it. The only problem is the added weight of the spare bike for the downhill bits.

RE: Transport Secretary Louise Haigh joins Chris Boardman and Laura Laker on Trans-Pennine Trail (N62) bike ride

This is all nice stuff, start 'em gently etc.  And she makes mention of the "variable" NCN...

... except I think much of the NCN is "recreational" - in fact the whole thing is has an "adventure" rating I'd say.

No-one got time for it but for full understanding people should have to cycle to the airport / train / ferry from where they are in the UK, be transported to NL, have a couple of days of cycling / walking / taking public transport around with people explaining both the finer details and the overall philosophies.  Then should be directed to ride back to their transport, returned to the UK and finally have to ride back home again there .

Or is that just cruel?

Still, I'd trust CB to get the message across.

First cut the drops off 25 years ago ... always have since , how much you cut depends on your hand size though ...

I'm down there 80% of my riding time. Would be quite difficult if nowhere to put your hands, eh? Yet another really stupid hack.

Pfaff wrote: I'm down there 80% of my riding time.

Genuinely curious, do you spend most of your time racing crits? I find it hard to imagine any other riding situation in which it would be necessary to spend 80% of your time on the drops, I think even pros would, unless it was a day with particularly strong and consistent headwinds, spend below 50% of their time on the drops. Each to their own of course but I would be interested to know why you spend so much time down there.

My bikes have two things in common: (1) they all have drops (2) I almost never use the drops.

Perhaps a bike fit is in order.

I mean.. if that's a gravel bike with no drops.. they may was well have either brought a XC bike.. or convert it to a flat bar.. at least that way they'd be able to pull the brakes properly.

Pretty sure you can pull the brakes properly with your hands on the hoods, I've done it loads of times.

All jokes aside the cut off drops chat has made me seriously consider buying an old used light carbon bike and rebuilding it for hill climbs, however such thought bubbles are punctured by the fact that I already have an incomplete new acquisition (a vintage 1949 Claud Butler Allrounder) and I don't have the space or the money for another project. And I don't want to go N-1 right now either as I don't have a bike that doesn't get used.

That was my thought process a couple of winters ago, a hillclimber sub 6kg for sub £1500, to take on my local hillclimb competition one year. The starting point was a Boardman SLR (mine was acquired from eBay for £230, when ONE Pro cycling folded, the bikes & parts were sold off by Boardman, mine is ex Kamil Gradek), it was fun sourcing and weighing the parts before assembling it. 

"Public outrage prompts Melbourne e-scooter ban

The Australian city of Melbourne has banned rental electronic scooters with officials saying they posed unacceptable safety risks."

I wonder what criteria they used to decide the risks were unacceptable. Would those same risks be applicable to motor vehicles/drivers?

If it is based on the injuries (and deaths) caused by users, and the associated costs etc... could they be compared against the damage/injuries-deaths and other costs caused by motorists?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w68ywqv2go  

It's Australia, so the main criterion was probably whether or not the rental scooter was a car.  If not, then ban it!

What news of the Bristol scooter trial?  I've passed through the place at the beginning of the year and the apocalypse didn't seem to be occurring.  Actually didn't see that many being used.

(I'm mostly "e-scooters not the answer to any of the questions we should be asking" but I also don't think they're the end of the world.  And for a few people having a tiny-folding "last mile" transporter could obviously be very *convenient*).

I see lots of them around and they seem to be very popular for people to commute on. Mrs HawkinsPeter enjoys using them to get to her work and she also uses the e-bikes when she can find one available.

E-scooters are definitely useful for short journeys and the "casual" nature of them appeals to a lot of people. They're also incredibly nimble and so great for winding through queues of slow moving traffic.

(Maybe too popular if the crime reports are anything to go by: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/e-scooters-bikes-being-set-9478089 )

I believe the main issue is users dumping errr "parking" the scooters in all manner of places after using then causing trip/crash hazards for pedestrians and cyclists. And also injuries and the occasional death sustained by riders when they hit a rock or stick or other obstacle at speed  and come off. Some of these incidents would be from riders using the scooters not as they were intended to be used ie carrying passengers and not wearing a helmet. Nothing to do with cars at all.

I mean ... "some people were riding them on the pavements"?

What did they think would happen?

16mph limits?  You're on a pogo stick on wheels, what could go wrong?

While much of this issue is give the general public new toys, expect 'creative' use" it may also be that Melbourne - while maybe changing - doesn't seem to have protected infra which goes where people want to go (rather than a nice rambling shared-use trail) .

Drop bars. My guess is maybe 95% of road cyclists never use the drops. They are there offering an alternative hand position, but I've rarely found them useful. Some might say the rider is more aerodynamic if on the drops, but this has been disproved. It's more aerodynamic to be on the hoods with horizontal forearms. I wouldn't cut my bars down though 'cos they look fugly (and I might want to sell them one day).

To enforce my use of the drops, I'm going to remove the tops from my handlebar

I removed the wheels to get below the wind. Seem to work pretty well as I can't feel a breeze no matter how hard I pedal.

I followed advice and cut off the drops.  Much more convenient for commuting, lighter, takes up less space etc.

In fact I can fit them in a rucksack if I want.  Not sure what to do with the rest of the bike though?

I wonder how many people would change their answer to the poll when they hear they don't qualify for australian citizenship and that breakdancing won't be in the next olmpics...

6% of Brits surveyed are idiots.

You're statistically incorrect. You're assuming that there's a lot of overlap and that the 6% of idiots that believe they could compete in road race are the same 6% that think they could qualify for the 100m. The qualifying time being 10 seconds for men and just over 11 seconds for women. Also the survey revealed that 15% of over 65s thought they could compete at Olympic level in 4 years time. There are a lot more than 6% of idiots.

Yes, nore like out of the 27% who thought they could qualify for one or more sport approximately 26.99% are idiots.

In the Olympic men's road race they barely averaged 25 mph, with the best possible equipment, training and support.

A lycra-clad (from head to toe) commuter will typically do 50 mph, with no special preparation or backup.

Methinks you're being too judgemental.

You never know.  In amongst that 6% could be a few folk who have the right stuff in terms of genetics and physicality who with the right support, training and nutrition could get there.

I cut off a set of drops years ago. It was a great set up for commuting.

Isn't that just a set of bullhorn bars?

Nope, they're wider.

Cutting off the drops will have been a great idea right up until the point when you're going down a really fast descent and you reach for the drops...
