    Phew.
    The beer bike will ride on in Amsterdam.

    The outsized bikes, seating groups of people around a central bar, are something of a fixture in the city's center. But two accidents within two months prompted the city councillor responsible for transport to launch an investigation in June.


    Following that review the city has decided to allow the bikes to carry on riding, a city spokesman said Saturday.

    Now there's a way to see a city.

    Next BGRH beers in Amsterdam?

    If you lot do go over and do this, I'm guessing that the city councillor will reverse his decision pretty quickly....

    We have those here in Hamburg as well. But feck it, too much effort for a brother, much easier to sit in a beer garden and put the feet up than trying to pedal that thing through the city!

    Hmmmm, I wonder if one would work over here.

    Throw in a few packets of Bacon Fries and it would be a hit, I am sure.
