Columbus will soon have competition in the pedal-powered party bike industry with the arrival of Trolley Pub next month.

State of play: Founder Joe Kapferer, a Buckeye State native and OSU grad, promises an "enriching and enlightening experience" atop his trolley bikes.

He previously worked for the similar company Pedal Wagon Columbus.

How it works: Up to 15 revelers can fit on a Trolley Pub rental for two-hour tours of the Short North, Italian Village, Arena District and downtown.

The group cost runs $349-469, with stops at riders' bars of choice.
Or you can purchase individual tickets ($25-33) for a "mixer tour."

The intrigue: Drivers will offer historical tidbits on various landmarks along the route.

🤔 That gives us a great idea: start charging for a snack-based tour of Franklin County's historical markers.
