As summer approaches, I find myself heading towards the beach more often.  Yesterday afternoon as I was crossing the street, I heard music and laughter coming down the street.  Curious, I turned my head and saw this most amazing sight: a BARCYCLE!  What a fun and whimsical way to get around town!  Here the passengers pedal to power the vehicle, with the added benefit of being served ice cold beverages along the way.  The bar tender can play music from your play list and you get to burn some serious calories while having fun with your friends.  I can’t help but smile and wave at them.

Being a New York and Taipei expat, I still like bus rides where you can sit and enjoy reading a book.  But next time I am planning a party, I will definitely book this everything-wonderul-rolled-into-one machine.

Now that’s California green living.
