A band of ukulele players recently took over Bend’s iconic, inebriation-inducing bar on wheels known as the Cycle Pub.

They peddled around town for a while before ending up at Jackson’s Corner, where the group hopped off their bike seats/bar stools, pulled out their pint-sized stringed instruments and played an impromptu show at the restaurant.

That’s one of the more colorful stories to come out of the past two and a half years of the Cycle Pub’s rolling journey through the streets of Bend. This summer, the pub on wheels will offer residents and tourists alike more options to tour the city.

The company has added another Cycle Pub to its fleet of vehicles, a sleeker mobile bar that weighs about 500 pounds less and is about 3 feet shorter than the original.

“It drives more like a car,” said James Watts, the owner of Cycle Pub. “Whereas the other one drives more like a bus.”

An electric car, dubbed the CP Shuttle, is also being introduced this summer. Unlike the Cycle Pub, the electric car doesn’t require any manpower in the form of pedalling, which means it can hit more breweries and have a wider range than the Cycle Pub bikes. The Cycle Pub generally sticks to a 4.5-mile long route on Bend’s west side but is unable to travel much beyond that.

To accommodate the growing fleet, the company has moved its home base, which used to be in a warehouse next to GoodLife Brewing Co. off of Southwest Century Drive. With GoodLife’s expansion into canning, the brewery needed more room to operate, and the Cycle Pub recently moved back into the Old Mill District.

“We’ve got downtown out the front door and the Old Mill out the back door,” Watts said.

Cycle Pub is also no longer just a Central Oregon phenomenon. Watts and partner Snowline Manufacturing Inc. have built 16 bar-on-a-bikes over the past three years, which have been purchased for use in Las Vegas; Boise, Idaho; Durham, N.C.; Nashville, Tenn., and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, among other places.

Currently, local Cycle Pub tours are already 60 percent full for the summer.

“During the summer,” Watts said, “it’s like everyday is Saturday here.”
