Default Pedal Bar in the Villages.

Nashville Pedal Tavern


I saw something like this when out-and-about around 7:15 PM tonight here in the Villages. I was wondering what it is called and where it goes?

It would be interesting to get a legal challenge to these. Pedaling with an open container, maybe?

Hmmm! Good question. Do you think they would go on MMPs? Oh just think of the threads that might result from your question.

Bikes are held to most traffic situations. Dui's and open containers included.

We saw it also on Belvedere Blvd with music loudly playing and people partying. I've never seen anything like it in The Villages.

We got Beef O'Brady's take-out last night and that is where I saw the people getting on this pedalcart. It looked like about eight people and a driver/host/bartender.

Since the peddlers are not driving, and using a DD the peddlers would be good. There is a permit posted on this vehicle for the purpose of travel. Usually it goes from place to place and people hop on and off.

The people had parked golf carts and cars at Beef O'Brady's at Southern Trace. It was full from what I saw. I was wondering if it went to the bars around Sumter Landing or just traveled around Belvedere/Lynnhaven/Ashland etc.

Not a bad price for 15 people for a very unique happening.
Would like to find more information about the company in the Villages that is doing this. I do not drink so it would not be an option for me.

It is pedalparties.com

It holds 11 people, 8 pedaling, 3 riding and is $250 for 2 hours.
I've done it with my softball team and we had a blast. It is just like in a golf cart, no open containers. They start up around beef o'bradys and go to sumter and stop at 2 or 3 places for people to get off and grab a drink.

They are also on facebook. I heard that in January they are going to do scavenger hunts and poker runs where people can book single seats.

Oh another thing we loved about this one, the one we did in Tavares was pedal powered ONLY. Our legs were killing us! On this one, when we didn't want to pedal, we hollered and the driver engaged the electric motor!
