Finally!
Toronto City Council has finally agreed to approve a new business venture called Pedal Pub. These are quite popular in several US & Canadian cities.
The concept is you have this contraption of 10 or 12 people, you bring your own drinks, hop on, start pedaling down the road and have a few have a cold beverages.
Picture below is of fun seekers from Calgary.
Maybe stop in at a pub have another drink, get back on. Have some more drinks and then maybe go to another pub or pedal back to where you started.
I've been on these and they are loads of fun.
So Toronto City Council is about to approve these. Oh, with one difference, though - no drinking allowed.
That's right, you cannot drink on the Pedal Pub.
Oh Sweet Mother Mary, can't Toronto do anything right? It's embarrassing.
To the poor sap that has the franchise here in Toronto - sorry buddy. I'm thinking I'm just going to go to whatever pubs I want and save $60.
[Post Script: Council is only going to approve two. Fourth biggest city in North America and they are going to have two of these.
Buddy says, I need to have at least eight of these to break even.
I'm sure the city councilors are shrugging their shoulders and thinking, what's making money got to do with it?]
