Who hasn't dreamt of pedaling slowly down the road while having a few drinks with friends as you hop from one bar to the next?  Okay, maybe only like a few people have really dreamt that.  But I'm one of those people, and I hope you are too!

The Party Bike trend is heating up all over the world and I want to bring this green industry to the Bay Area! (Can you believe they don't already have these bikes AT LEAST in Berkeley?)  It really is a fiesta on wheels! This is a great outing for bachelorette/ bachelor parties, birthday parties, corporate parties, party parties, and meeting new people parties!  See what I mean?  Andrew W.K. would eat this thing up!


*this guy knows about partying. (just a music video)


The Bike

Party Bike seats 15 with 12 pedaling and one driving (that's me!). There will be speakers so you can rock your own party music, a small television so as to watch the big game, or cartoons, or really anything...it's a TV, and even a tap for, you know, soda and such. ;-) The bikes alone are very expensive ($50,000+) before we factor in the trailer and insurance, so in order to start the pedals turning (totally intended) I'm reaching out to all of you to be my chain (again).  Sure my fundraising goal is high, but if I shoot for the Moon and hit the International Space Station, well, free astronaut ice cream, right?

About Me

I'm a first-time entrepreneur who wants to offer a unique, zero-carbon, fun-filled, character-friendly attraction to the Bay Area in California.  I'm a teacher, so funds do not come easily to me and since the bike would be rented in the evenings I would likely continue teaching and run the business at the same time, perhaps incorporating it into my lesson plans.  I believe that the main purpose in life is to live well and enjoy yourself, so this sort of business jibes with my ideology.  Oh yeah, I also have a pretty sweet beard that feels like velvet when I cut it short, but I am going to grow it out until I reach my goal (and I will post regular pictures).  Please don't make me turn into Grizzly Adams!

*because Grizzly doesn't party.


How will we serve others?
While our business pales in comparison to more important and life-changing fundraisers such as medical needs or charities, it is my intention to "pay it forward" by donating 10% of annual profits to charitable causes such as the Cancer Research Institute (www.cancerresearch.org), in honor of my late mother, once we are up and pedaling.  Further, as we expand, I plan on hiring young adults and college students from the neighborhood to fill a number of positions and give them a sense of worth and community pride. 

*That's me in the hat hangin' with my party people.


If you've seen or ridden a Party Bike in other cities and understand how much fun they are, please consider floating us a few bucks to bring one to the Bay Area!

*contributors, not investors
