A multipassenger brewery-and-sightseeing tour bike powered by the tourists who hop on board and pedal to and from their destination is coming to downtown Vancouver.

Michael Palensky and his wife, Maureen, plan to launch Couve Cycle in April. Palensky, a Vancouver native and former disc jockey, said he was inspired to bring the big bike to downtown Vancouver after seeing the city’s growth, from the expanded farmers market to the ever-increasing number of taprooms.

“It just seems to be a hub for new entertainment businesses,” he said.

Palensky purchased the $50,000 bike from a company in Arizona a year ago. He bore that cost but launched an Indiegogo funding campaign over the weekend in hopes of raising money to ship the bike to Vancouver, pay for a storage container to house the big bike, buy optional helmets for passengers, make a down payment on another bike and more. He said he hopes to place an order for a second bike soon, since they take about a year to build.

As of Monday, Palensky had raised over $3,500 with the goal of raising $20,000 in 21 days.
