LB Pediwagon

Hmm. How do I put this?
I had a great time, but my friends and family members complained about the pedal pushing. Which is odd because I’m probably the most out of shape and I have some joint problems (mainly that joints aren’t allowed).
Lucky for me, but not for you, I can be a jerk. So I made it perfectly clear that my… uh… «well-​fed» friend Dewayne had to pedal. Not pedaling is one thing, but having other people push his weight was unacceptable.
I found it interesting that another reviewer complained that they got charged extra for being late, and another complained that the captain was late. In my case, the captain was indeed late, but he let us stay out even later.
Meeting at KC Branaghan’s wasn’t a problem for me as it is my local bar.
(See separate review… Or don’t, I don’t care.
For the most part, just boarding the wagon was fun because it was alien to all of us. I liked it, as the birthday boy, because it was like we were all at one giant dinner table after a meal, able to talk but without any anxiety about splitting checks.
Pedaling wasn’t especially easy, but whatever. We were all in it together. I guess plugging in the iPod and singing along to my playlist was like the chain gang singing songs on the railroad.
So, we went to Riley’s… and then to Quinn’s… and to Legends… and then we went back to KCB. The whole time people are honking and cheering. One drunk wild animal handler, fed up with his girlfriend, jumped on the wagon and ended up partying with us.
My friends, family and wife still complain about the pedaling part of it, but I want to do it again. I may have to find 13 other people, though.
One reviewer said it goes 1 mile an hour. Nope. Our first stop was RIley’s (.7 miles away) and it probably took 10 – 20 minutes. So, that’s really… um… carry the one… well, who knows. If you invite Dewayne you will definitely carry the one.

This was a unique experience! The fun level depends on the group you are with, your ability to be part if the spectacle, and how crazy you want to get!!! The peddling part is easy. We had 10 people and most of us are middle aged. We went to Shannon’s and Legends in addition to starting at KC brannigans. Our driver Gabriel was awesome. Very laid back and fun. Bring a party playlist on your phone!

We celebrated my friends 32^nd birthday on the Pediwagon and had a BLAST! Our conductor was on time (we were late and he was so generous and understanding). Picked us up at an Irish pub there, and started our voyage! So I think 15 people fit but only 10 pedal. Yes you need to pedal so the wagon will roll lol. You can hook up your Pandora or playlist and have it bumping for all tourist to enjoy. You can drink alcohol if you have I in a non alcoholic container (big gulp cups, ect). Our conductor stopped at the most popular bars and we got off and went in for shots shots shots! We went to about 3 – 4 bars because we were late, so we didn’t get to enjoy more BUT we didn’t need any more alcohol thanks to our big gulps! It was really a unique and super fun experience. Yes you will get tired from pedaling but that’s when you rotate people and a little exercise never hurt anyone!

Really fun!!! We loved our captain Dusty. He was really great helping us pick spots to stop that would fit our group. There was 14 of us. Next time, I would totally go for a 3 hour trip… Cause that thing moves soooo slow!!! And is a lot of work :) but it’s totally worth it!!! We had such a fun night of listening to music, being outside and active and grabbing drinks from such a great part of town. We are all definitely planning on doing it again.
Tips and heads up: in a 2 hour trip, you will probably stop 2 – 3 times. Good idea to bring snacks, waters, tip for your captain and make a playlist… Not all 15 will be pedaling at the same time. I think 10… Or maybe even 8… I’m not sure. Ask the guys. But it was super easy to rotate the spots as you stop. Probably better that way. Have fun!!!

Fun! Had no idea what to expect, it was certainly a workout, but with all the laughs and madness it was all worth it! The wagon has an aux. input so definitely bring an iPod or something to play music. The music and the alcohol make it all the better! Our captain Dusty was awesome and had good suggestions for bar stops :)

This business has potential but they need to fix some issues. We went for my fiancés birthday party and were excited from the get go. We had a group of 11 on the wagon which I thought would be more than enough man power. Within the first 3 minutes my pedal fell off and shortly after another chain broke. Not that it made a difference cause it was hard to pedal from the first push. I’m in pretty good shape and my legs were on fire at the end and we were all winded.
The biggest problem is their starting point. They start at KC Brannighans in Naples. It’s a fun bar but it takes 15 minutes of hard peddling to get to Belmont Shores which is ¼ — ½ mile away. The thing literally goes a mile an hour. Advice to them would be to change your starting location to somewhere in Belmont shore so you’re not gassed before the first destination. Instead of wanting an alcoholic beverage we all wanted water instead.
Lastly, the prices for being late are ridiculous! You can’t expect to take people out to party and make them pay outrageous prices for being even 10 mins late. Especially when you have to prepare for another 10 – 15 minute ride from legends. I was responsible and made sure we were back on time but I can see how others would struggle with this. I understand why they do this but it takes away from the fun knowing you’re going to be charged a crap load for being a little late. Again, start closer to the bars we go to so we don’t spend the majority of the time working our legs out.
I hope that you get your license for having alcohol again. I can honestly say that the highlight is being on the actual bike and not in the bars we’ve been to numerous times. If you could stay on it the full 2 hours it would a better experience. Hope my input gets some consideration. We will be back if it does.
— Our driver was great btw.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I gathered my relatives and invited them to a family event. They had less of an idea of what we were going to experience. We all met up at our meeting spot and started to have some drinks and then headed to the back and saw this crazy picnic bench/​bar/​covered bicycle monster thing. My cousin brought sombreros and my uncle a bunch of burritos. Once we sat on the Pediwagon the party started and continued throughout our adventure.
We laughed and laughed and this event really brought the family together. Each bar was a stepping stone to yet a better ride on the wagon as the afternoon progressed.
Pediwagon is a little Vegas, Cancun, Tijuana, 24 Hour Fitness, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride all rolled into one. I’m reserving a family Christmas adventure soon…

I appreciate their effort… but too little too late.
LB Pediwagon is a self-​propelled pedal pub crawl. That’s how it was advertised to me when I bought the Groupon/​Living Social deal, whatever it was… (purchased at the beginning of 2013 for a May 2013 excursion) I spoke with Joseph on numerous occasions to make sure that I was clear about their service. I was planning a big day of fun for me and 14 of my friends and people were coming from all over, even flying into town for the fun.
When I got the contract, I even talked to him to clarify things because the contract said no alcohol allowed. But, Joseph swore to me that as long as we had our butts on the seats, we could drink. Once the wagon stops, and your butt is no longer on the seat, then you are not allowed to take your drink off the wagon. Fine! I was totally fine with that. So, I spoke with him about how there was a table top so we were free to bring on whatever coolers full of drinks and snack food we wanted. Yay! I bought the deal, sent out my evites to the out of towners, and we had our party of 15 set!
1) I booked it specifically to drink n ride. I called/​emailed the day before to see if there were any last minute details. At that time, I was told that the rules had changed supposedly the DAY BEFORE my event. Now, alcohol was not allowed on the pediwagon. So my coolers packed w goodies had to be altered. Even worse, had I not called, no one would’ve told me that we weren’t allowed to bring alcohol. And we would’ve shown up with all our stuff and no way to drink ‘em. THEY should have called me.
2) when I booked the event, Joseph said that he was working out drink specials with the bars on the pub crawl. When I asked him for the list he said he didn’t work out any drink specials. :-(
3) they were 1.5 hours LATE picking us up from the starting point! Which made us late for the rest of the evening’s shenanigans.
W…T…H!!!
So… there we sat… at the starting point… waiting for the pediwagon to arrive so we could start our pub crawl. Meanwhile, I was stewing more and more the longer I had to wait. No one told us that there was going to be a delay. I called their office number repeatedly, and I asked the barkeep to find out what was happening. He finally told me that they were running late with the group before us.
I will definitely never use this service again. I would not recommend it to anyone.
I generously gave a 2 star rating because Joseph was our conductor and he was super nice. Granted, he was the one that I booked with and I was really pissed at him. But, I know he tried.

This thing is AWESOME!!! Got a group of 10 of us together and went out on St. Patty’s Day and it felt like we were in a parade! People honking and waving and jumping out of their cars just to take pictures of us. We felt like we were celebrities hahahaha!!! Joesph our driver was totally awesome!!! He really made it a fun time and doesn’t cut the trip short. These guys want to make sure you have a great time and they stress it. That’s what peddle pubs are for, right!?! If you’ve never tried one its a MUST! Get a group of friends together and try these guys out, can’t wait to do it again with my friends! Thanks LB Pediwagon you guys ROCK!

Had my birthday on the awesome bike! Had the greatest time with my friends and Joseph our captain was super chill. Everyone needs to experience this pub crawl adventure!
