I was in Denver's RiNo (River North) neighborhood last weekend, and no less than three pedal hoppers passed by as I was walking down Larimer Street. Pedal hoppers are also known as "party bikes" or "bar cycles," vehicles that are pedal powered by the riders, and which are basically pub crawls on wheels. Here in Denver, they make a circuit through the Lower Downtown (LoDo), Ballpark, and River North (RiNo) neighborhoods, starting and ending at Bierstadt Lagerhaus and stopping at the Refinery, the ViewHouse, the Gin Mill, 1up, and the Matchbox. All for $360, split among the 6 to 16 people in your group. Which is reasonable enough if you can round up 16 people to fill the seats in that bike. Of course, that doesn't include the cost of drinks at those places, which evidently was not a problem for the young hipsters seen in the photograph above. And by the way, another cost might be for an Uber to get you home if you do indeed have a drink at each stop. What fun! Just another Saturday night in Hipsterville. Looks like it is going to be another long long summer for the people who live in those neighborhoods.
