Giant Party-Bike Crawler Cruises to Boulder

Online, June 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A new local company is sure to turn heads in downtown Boulder beginning July 1. MyHandleBar is a 16-passenger party bike complete with a designated driver used to cruise around the bars and breweries of Boulder.

Colorado native and serial entrepreneur Theresa Preston founded MyHandleBar. The bike, which originated in the Netherlands, combines exercise with tasting some of Colorado's best food and drinks.

"I originally saw this concept in a magazine and thought it was amazing," said Preston. "Given the physically conscience nature and love of craft beer that Coloradoans have I was certain that this would be appealing to a lot of people. Since I am local, my focus is on local partnerships, local bars and local beer."

The company officially launches tours beginning July 1, but a kick-off party will be held on June 12 from 1 - 4 p.m. at The Lazy Dog restaurant on Pearl Street. The party will include:

• Free rides on the bike (for all people over the age of 18)
• Free food
• Free music and entertainment
• Free beer (for the first 100 people over 21)
• Signature drinks from local company iX MiXer
• Raffles and giveaways

The launch party is open to the public and more information is available at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=117670344985179

The Boulder bike routes focus on local breweries and famous bars. This giant bike is an awesome, eco-friendly option for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, brewery tours, company parties and just nights on the town.

About MyHandleBar
MyHandleBar is a giant 16-passenger bar-bike with several pedaling seats and is an awesome eco-friendly way to cruise around Boulder and Fort Collins with friends or crawl from pub to pub sampling local brews and site seeing. This bike is the ideal Colorado party rental when you're looking to have fun in the sun, burn some calories and bond with friends.

The bike was originally called "fietscafe," which is a loose Dutch translation for "Bike Cafe." And, like a great many out-of-the-box ideas, this one started in a pub, was spurred on by a friendly wager and was literally sketched out on a bar napkin.
