The beer bike known as the pedal pubs or mobile conference tables ideal for stag dos has been banned in Germany.
This fantastic beer bike tour can take up to 16 people who sit around a beer barrel table, help themselves to on tap beer, listen to music and tour cities has been an amazing success story in Germany and has now been banned by a court in Düsseldorf after complaints about rowdiness.
German drivers have complained about the Beer Bike, saying that the longer people sat on the bike the less they pedalled and the bikes were getting slower and slower causing traffic jams.
Stag groups from the UK and other European countries including Germany make up half of the beer bike’s clientèle. Groups are restricted to 18 pints of beer an hour with regular toilet breaks built into the tour.
A spokesman from DesignaVenture told me that “the beer bike tour is extremely popular with our stag and hen parties and it’s a big shame about the German court ruling”.
