EARLIER: Dayton considers legislation for pedal pubs
The permiting proccess will require applicants to provide proof of insurance, a summary of planned pedaling routes and a list of business practices and policies.
Pedal pubs are essentially large bikes — that can fit 15 or more people who are asked to help pedal — that also have a bar and allow riders to sip on booze as they roam about the city.
Two groups have already expressed interest in bringing mobile drinking carts to Dayton. Cincinnati-based Pedal Wagon offers a 15-person wagon.
Local residents Lindsay Kleinhenz and Chad Banter hope their business, Dayton Pedaling Pub, will hit the road soon.
City staff have expressed some concerns about pedal pubs resulting in increased costs related to enforcement and regulation.
