GREEN BAY — Police in Green Bay oppose a plan by a business owner to operate pedal pubs in the city.
The rolling minibars are already in operation in Madison, Milwaukee and some other Wisconsin cities.
State law allows pedal passengers to consume a maximum 36 ounces of beer on the 12-person, four-wheeled vehicles. But, communities have the option of banning or regulating the pedal pubs.
Police Capt. Kevin Warych says while the pedal pubs may be safe and enjoyable for many, they would also contribute to a culture of drinking.
A draft resolution banning the pedal pubs before the city's Welfare and Protection Committee Monday night, June 6th was referred to staff. Any decision on whether to allow the pedal bars is up to the City Council.
