Bicycle Designer Builds a Beer Bike

Posted by samzenpus on from the handle-bar dept.

cylonlover writes "Portland, Oregon-based Metrofiets Cargo Bikes has combined a hand-built bicycle, draught beer, pizza and music all four in an ingenious little vehicle unofficially known as the Beer Bike. The custom-built bicycle, inspired by Dutch cargo bikes, has space for two full-sized pressurized beer kegs, and features 50 feet (15 meters) of cooling coils per keg, an ice tray, an inlaid wooden bar with two beer taps, a rear rack designed for carrying pizza boxes, and a solar-powered custom wooden boom box that mounts like a pannier."
