Bike Bars: Obnoxious or Entertaining?
Are bike bars the most obnoxious or entertaining Boise experience? We’re sure you’ve seen those loud spectacles cruising downtown, usually playing top hits while people dress up in their favorite party theme and whoop it up, pedaling from bar to bar!
Even though bike bars may look a little different than they did a year ago, with no open containers or late night rides, Pedals and Pints driver Camden Gallagher wants to make it known that bike bars actually serve a greater purpose in the community. So today, he takes on the challenge of convincing Host Frankie Barnhill to join in on the fun. Will Host Frankie Barnhill book her own bike bar experience? Or will she come down hard on boycotting this downtown menace?
