MADISON (AP) - A state legislator wants to allow pedal-powered, moving bars on Wisconsin streets and roadways.
Forest Junction Republican Alvin Ott says so-called pedal pubs have been a safe tourist attraction elsewhere and should be allowed in Wisconsin.
The bar is set on four car tires with patrons seated on either side, each with a set of pedals to power the vehicle. One person steers and brakes, which allows others to pedal, quench their thirst and socialize.
Ott says there's interest in starting a pedal pub business in Green Bay with the rolling bars moving around Lambeau Field. Ott's proposal comes at a time when there's pressure on lawmakers to fight problem drinking in Wisconsin and pass tougher laws on drunken driving.
The pedal pubs are already in use in Minneapolis and St. Paul where rental rates start at $150 an hour.

So is there a cop also sitting there to issue DUIs?
Sounds like a brilliant idea.
Used to go to an Irish set dancing night at a bar which I referred to as aerobics with guinness. This sounds way better - being out and about and communing with nature and all.
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones...
being out and about in a Wisconsin winter at night, drunk, riding a bicycle. yeah thats the tkt.
I’m presuming that the most sober of the bunch is actually steering while the remainder merely provide raw power.
That would be a smart idea were it not so cold in WI.
