Pedal Pubs

While completing the reading about Pedal Pubs and doing some further research on the growing interest that comes along with them, I have some concerns about the popularity of them on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. A few years back I took a trip to Nashville, Tennessee where I experienced my first Pedal Pub. This particular bike has gained popularity for different parties, such as birthday parties or bachelorette parties. It has gained so much popularity in Nashville that in an episode of Saturday Night Live, they appeared on a pedal bike that was a bar with a bachelorette party. In my opinion, I believe that this pedal bike has taken over Nashville because of the amount of bars that are located downtown. If these bikes were started in Atlantic City, I do not believe they would have as much success. I am not positive, but I do not think as many people go to Atlantic City for parties such as bachelorette parties as they do in places such as Nashville. These bikes are also a way to explore the city, and I do not believe there is as much to explore in Atlantic City as there is in Nashville. I have never been to Atlantic City, so I can not speak about the atmosphere, but knowing Nashille, I know that drinking is very popular, and that is why it is so successful. I do believe though that if it was a pub bike in Atlantic City, tourists like to try new things, and that is the most likely way for the bikes to be successful.
