Bar Bike History

The concept of bar bikes was conceived in the way most miraculous inventions were – through two people looking for a new way to have fun. Sitting in a bar in the early 90s in the Netherlands, Zwier and Henk Van Laar overheard the pub owner grumble about how he had to promote his business in an upcoming parade. The Van Laar brothers took that idea seedling and ran with it – and thus the idea of a rolling, pedaling pub was born. 

 

In 1996, the Van Laar brothers built their first bike bar, coined the Fietscafe (Bike Cafe). It received such a positive reaction they quickly started manufacturing bike bars and distributing across Europe. In 2007, the first bar bike made the voyage from Europe to the United States. It turns out that Americans love to drink creatively as well, because bike bars instantly gained intrigue and popularity. 

 

In 2013, Robert Mayer of Pedal Crawler improved on the original bike bar design and started his own bar bike manufacturing company in the United States. With all the bells and whistles added to these contraptions from LED lights to great speakers to an electric motor assist, the already great bar bike experience was taken to the next level. 

 

In a couple of short years, the bike bar craze grew to at least one bar bike tour operator in almost every major city in the country. 

 

And who said great things don’t come from hanging out in a bar?
