Have keg… Will travel.
In-flight refuelling. Brilliant.
That’s what the guys in the motorized recliner thought…
interesting keg-mobile
2 kegs would be heavy! needs a whipper-sniper motor to power it.
And some training wheels for when the kegs are empty ;p.
All it needs is a straw and you’re ready for an epic journey
It also works on a stationary bike.
They used the bike to off-set the methane and other greenhouse gases they’ll release in consuming the beer. Thank you for doing your part for the environment!
Wonder why he lost his license?
Look! It’s the Animal House rickshaw!
Zing!
awesome. short range keg delivery service, perhaps.
For long range what my grand dad used to use was a motorcycle with a cast iron bath tub fashioned as a side car. To boot with a stopper in the tub you could fill it with ice AND keep the beer COLD while traveling because lets face it, warm beer sucks. Plus according to at least a local cop as long as there is no open container then all was good.
your grand dad is a hero.
you should be proud!
Epic win!
Ever lift or move a full-o-beer keg ? Can you pull an extra ~320 lbs ? Me thinks that’s how they return the empties, not the fulls.
Maybe it’s part of his thigh-building program?
If it’s uphill to the supplier, it would work. As long as they have good brakes on the bike for the return trip, it’s pure win.
thats no kludge, those bike trailers are bad ass. i want one.
Is that a single-speed bike?! Sure hope it’s not a fixed-gear.
Either way, I have to agree with George – no way those kegs are full.
Maybe it’s Lite beer?
Please, leave us to our dilutions.
would you dilute the beer to make it last longer? That would be delusional.
Also known as homeopathy.
Nice trailer properly mounted… where’s the kludge? Those kegs look to be static (not tied down), and I agree that if they were full, the bike would be dangling from the hitch.
Notice its the only thing holding up the bike, buddy you have the definition of a keg-stand all wrong.

What a perfect idea!

I thought I was a heavyweight….
HUSABOB, the red cords look like they are (attempting) to tie down the kegs, and with one in front of the axle and one behind the axle, I would say “No” to your hanging from hitch theory.
Hmmmm… I see your point about the cords, but I doubt they would restrain full kegs
Hey, that’s Magnús Ver Magnússon’s bike!
Super impressive weight to be hauling around on an SS!
No drunk driving ticket at all. But maybe a public intox one though.
Woooohoooo. Keg stand! Keg stand! Keg st….
Hum wait a sec.
Keg wheelies! Keg wheelies!
Looks like a prop straight out of an Asher Roth music video.
They’re probably on their way to the Australian Single Speed Champs being held Saturday week. That’s pretty much the volume of beer each competitor will consume.
Cast off your deraileurs, rise up and join us!
Short answer is yes, you can get cited for drunk driving since you’re operating a vehicle.
He’s definitely raised the bar but I would have expected that Bud would have been wiser. Even though his wagon has stout tires, if he gets tapped out and can’t keep a head of the pack or hops the curb, he’s going to be feeling a draught (especially if his bottom’s up). Either that or he’ll get mugged. Regardless, I sense trouble brewing.
How? How do you do it, O Great Dono1?
I saw a lot of similarly equipped bikes (usually single speed with an enclosed chain) in Denmark on a bike trip across that country some years ago. Denmark is very flat, and there are a lot of beer drinkers. It seemed like an efficient way of getting around the larger cities with a small load. Probably not a safe way in this country, though.
Hah, I’ve totally pulled a similar setup before, only it was a couple of pony kegs loaded into a kiddie carrier. Sympathetic looks from cops… if only they knew…
The funny thing is that this is a very common sight in Portland, Or. Lots of people here use bicycles the same way average Americans use cars. So if there’s a large party, someone will go out with a bike trailer or bakfiets to pick up a keg of beer.

In our country (Czech Republic) we can pay ~2500 USD for driving bicycles while dunk (of course only when get caught
