Remember I told you about that saying "If Mohamed won't go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohamed"? This is somehow related to the next gadget as well, if I may call it gadget, namely the Bar, Pizzeria and Dance Club Bicycle, built by Metrofiets, a manufacturer of cargo bikes, made for Portland's Hopworks Urban Brewery.

Lucky Portland inhabitants will probably now have the commodity of having a bar come to them, when there's no bar to go to. Featuring two kegs in the cargo bin along with almost 12Kg of ice, as well as a 15-meter cooling coil for the beer, making sure the beer reaches the glasses ice cold from the tap, a rack for pizza boxes and a music system, this all-in-one bicycle weighs probably more than 300Kg.

Even in current state, it will be a major success at the upcoming Biketoberfest celebration, but nevertheless, the designers have big plans for its future. One idea is the addition of a second speaker system, as well as a solar array to power all of the various electrical devices, although most likely increasing the total weight to something like 370Kg.

Now for my part of the story, I really want to see someone riding this bike, without tripping – mind you, I'm a Libra and should know that equilibrium is a wonderful thing in life, but given the weight of this beast I highly doubt it is easy maneuverable when taking a curve or even better (or worse) when pressing the break. And speaking of weight, I'm curious after how many tinniest road bumps the front fork will break or at least bend. All of that besides wondering how much the rims and spokes will last under so much weight.
