Party bike?
Sep 24, 2018 02:27:03 #
I came across this novel idea to party & work it off as you go.
It was in Riga, Latvia while I was on a sort of Pilgrimage to the land of my paternal grandfather.
Beautiful old city, lots of fun being had, especially this Party bike/bus.
one guy drives it while four ppl sit eachside pedalling like buggery to get places. a bench/table in the middle allows for your beverages to be served or rested. Lots of noisy fun followed where ever it went around the city.
The old city with its cobbled streets, didn't have much vehicular traffic. Very Tourist friendly country, as were all three Baltic states.
t's a shame I can't display the video clips I took.

They also have them in Nashville. When I saw it there was a bridal shower onboard, the bride had a veil on and it looked like a lot of fun.

Love Riga. The Old Town is fantastic.
My grandfather left old photos of buildings in Riga from way back when he was young. Born 1877, but not in Riga.
While I was there I went looking for them & out of the 12 or so pics, I found most of them still there.
I showed a set of them to a museum guy who later sent me a note on what the missing buildings fate was.
Some demolished for redevelopment, others destroyed in the wars.
I agree, old Riga is a lovely city, beautifully restored & maintained, their history very well preserved & presented.
Tallin in Estonia, & Vilnius in Lithuania are also very tourist friendly cities to see. History is quite bloody & violent from the various invaders, German or Russian.
Museums showcase their brutality, against an otherwise seemingly Passive race of people.
I recall my grandfather being a very passive old guy. Travelled the world a lot before settling in Australia.

I've seen pictures of them from many different places. Having many drunk drivers spreads out the cost of the ticket. : )

Dummy! "A" and "lot" are two (2) separate words. There is NO SUCH WORD as "alot". You are likely conflating it with the word "allot" which means to parcel or dole out, as in an allotment. It does not mean "a great amount".

I like “conflating”. Not a word I see very off ten.

I’d prefer to relax at the bar rather than pedal my a$$ off in order to get a brew!

The idea is to not pedal, make everybody else do the work until you get caught😊

Saw one of these however it was floating down the Chicago river... Hopefully it will keep some of them sober as the workout might burn some of that alcohol off

Perhaps it was just a typo, leaving out the space. Also, perhaps, you are the one who's actually the DUMMY..... Just go look up the definition of "conflate", you're usage of the word is meaningless, eh ?
