Breckenridge BikeBus

History

Hi, this is Curt Cavnar, Chief Instigator of Fun and Frolic at the Breckenridge BIKEBUS. In the summer of 2011 I saw an article about a 16 person bicycle bar and I was intrigued and captivated by this crazy vehicle. I found out that there were about a dozen of them in operation and they were quite busy with tours and charters. I decided that this might be an ideal venture in one of my favorite places on earth - Breckenridge, Colorado. I ran it past the town planning commission and the town council and they both unanimously approved it. I thought that I might purchase a vehicle from one of the four different manufacturers that make them. Then, while discussing my plans with my neighbor he told me that he would be interested in building my vehicle. He is one of those rare people who can build anything. What he created is a fun and functional work of art. Thanks for taking this trip with us and buckle up, because the best part of the ride is about to begin. We'll save a seat for you!

Specialties

The Breckenridge BIKEBUS is not a bicycle built for two - it's a bicycle built for 16. That's right - 16 people ride on the BIKEBUS -- ten pedalers, 5 freeloaders who sit in the non-pedaling seats and a biketender/server that you designate from your group who stands in the center. There are several stops along the route so you can also switch positions along the way from time to time. Motor? - we don't need no stinkin' motor! The BIKEBUS is human powered by you, the rider. It's a green machine that reflects the healthy biking culture of Breckenridge and Colorado. We supply a driver who brakes and steers. You are the engine. Our maximum cruising altitude is 9600 feet. Our maximum cruising speed is 5-7 mph. Fun, not fast. We are fully insured and we are fully permitted by the Town of Breckenridge. To learn more visit our website!
