German ingenuity

Have you ever wanted to drink while riding your bike around, but you were afraid you’d:

Spill your beer
Get too blitzed to drive?

Well, Germany has the solution (of course).

Not sure if y’all can tell, but the patrons at the “bar” there, all pedal, which is what makes the thing move. There was one tooling around the Heumarkt here in Cologne during dinner (which, btw, was 9:30pm and still full daylight out). Pretty funny. Presumably the driver does not partake.

Today I got to introduce the term “Beer thirty” into the vocabulary of the English-speaking Germans at the client site. That made me feel worldly and classy. I also finally ate some German food (rather than italian, McDonald’s or Subway… blech) – there was spaetzel on the plate with my mushrooms over OSTRICH filet. Man was that some tasty tasty eating! I am stuffed.
