Pedal and imbibe :) From their website: "The Pedal Trolley is a pedal-powered vehicle with seating for 14 passengers. Appealing to cyclists, beer enthusiasts, university students, professionals and tourists alike, the Pedal Trolley is the perfect eco-tainment for anyone who enjoys a new adventure!" I've always wanted to try it, so if you do let me know what you think!
