How about cruising around town in a mobile pub that runs on people power?

These open-air, pedal-powered party trolleys seat up to 15 people—with five on each side doing the leg work—three seated on a bench at the back and another seated over the rear wheels. The bike comes equipped with a driver and sound system, all riders need to bring is their beverages of choice and some leg power. Riders cruise around downtown Fort Worth, including Sundance Square and can hop on and off as they please. If you want to ride, you can either join in a two-hour mixer tour for $25 or have your own two-hour cycle party for $160 an hour on weekdays and $190 on weekends.
