"Overall I think Party Pedaler is a great concept and a fun time however there were some pretty substantial problems as well.\n\nLet me back up, we did the Uptown tour (which is a bit less in terms of cost) we arrived at their Mcnich meeting spot to \"pre-game\" prior to our tour. There was some confusion on whether we could bring alcohol on board - between the two websites my friend researched. Let me clarify this, you cannot drink on board period. You can drink beforehand or while stopping at different bars. This wasn't a huge issue for us, however the taps on board and even the name is a tad on the confusing side. I did hear this was a city mandated law, so it's not something the business can control, however I think they could do a better job of clarifying it from the beginning. \n\nI was pleasantly surprised that they provided some complimentary Abita for our group, I'm not a fan of bock's, it was a nice touch...we could have left our beer at home too! \n\nI will say everyone was VERY friendly, and they really did try to be accommodating, but there were only two spots on one half of the contraption that were actually functioning. This meant that three people in our group didn't really get to participate and the rest of the group had to make up for their man-power. The chains were clearly not attached, so I wish the business would have fixed this before we even arrived. I brought this to an employees attention but she said oh maybe the driver can fix it...though he never did. We also had problems with our music not working and were delayed. That wasn't a big deal but on one leg of our journey the music again stopped working, and we were again delayed at one of our stops.\n\nWhen it was my turn to pedal (we tried to give everyone a turn), I didn't find it nearly as difficult as one person described. Perhaps his group was really slacking because I wouldn't dream of running an iron man but found it fairly easy overall. \n\nI felt like most of the time was spent stopping - and we only really biked for about 15-20 minutes total. Considering this was was about $30 per person, I felt like the journey was not worth the cost. Though they had \"specials\" set up along the way a $5 beer doesn't take the sting out of the price much in all honesty. It also was not tour like at all. it was more like we had a driver who occasionally beeped along the way. Though I love our beautiful city, you didn't see much of it on this tour. I wasn't looking to create my own beer crawl, but that's essentially what this is.\n\nThough it was fun when we did get to pedal and our group made it an absolute blast, I wouldn't do this again just because they seemed a tad un-organized, the equipment was broken, it was overpriced, and we spent very little time actually partying while pedaling...so it was a bit misleading."^^ . .
