Pub crawl by pedal power

For the time-poor Londoner, it is the ultimate way to combine fresh air and exercise with a relaxing drink after work.

The Pub Crawler, a mobile bar propelled by the pedal power of its customers, is being hired out for up to £1,500 a time for tours between the capital's pubs.

It can accommodate 12 people - 10 guests who sit on bar stools with pedals so they can drink as they travel from venue to venue and, for safety's sake, a professional two-man crew who steer.

The Pub Crawler

The Pub Crawler is legally classified as a quad cycle, so it can be used on public roads. It does not need a drinks licence because customers are not sold any alcohol while they are on board.

Instead, the cost of the drinks bought at pubs en route is included in the hire price, which ranges from £450 to £1,500.

The Pub Crawler was introduced to London by 35-year-old Luke Robertson after he saw a similar contraption while holidaying in the Baltics.
