Amsterdam beer bikes survive ban threat
Pedal-powered pubs which tour Amsterdam have been told they can continue driving around the city, despite a recent spate of accidents.
The BeerBikes have seating for up to 20 people and come stocked with 30 litres of beer, making them a popular feature on the Dutch streets.
But after the bikes - which are powered by the pedalling drinkers - were involved in a number of crashes, city officials launched an investigation into their safety.
However, the Beer Bikes have now been given the go-ahead to continue as long as they get permits from various city boroughs and have a sober driver.
The two hour tours of Amsterdam take in all the sights of the city … but most of the pedalling drinkers only look up from their beer when going through the red light district.
