Merge with Pedibus

These two short articles appear to be about the same topic, although perhaps one is a subset of the other. In either case, they are both defined as multi-passenger human powered vehicle designed and built by Atek Customs in Bend, Oregon. -AndrewDressel (talk) 12:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

A merge to Pedibus seems best as it does appear to just be two names of the same topic. No idea if it's a notable topic or not, but at best only deserves one article. Severo^TC 18:06, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Done. -AndrewDressel (talk) 15:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Fietscafe

they are basically the same thing. Fietscafé is the Dutch name for the fenomenon --IIVeaa (talk) 12:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC) also, might be a good idea to make a wikimedia category for these bikes. --IIVeaa (talk) 12:56, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Completely agree! A well-written article that covers [Fietscafe], Partybike, Citycycle, Pedalpub, and Conferencebike seems in order. Any suggestions for a main article name? Fred (talk) 22:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I think Party Bike is the best name for the English article. Like I said, Fietscafé is basically the Dutch word for it. A couple of redirects to this article wouldn't hurt though. I've made Pedal pub redirect here already. -IIVeaa (talk) 10:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Agree.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 14:54, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Party Bike or Party bike? Severo^TC 16:58, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Party bike is better I think --IIVeaa (talk) 13:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I lean towards Party Bike but don't have strong views. I was about to propose a merger of Conference Bike into this article, so agree that a merger is sensible. Springnuts (talk) 12:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

As a generic term, party bike would be a common noun and so all lower-case. This follows the relevant MOS policy "Use lower case, except for proper names" (see WP:LOWERCASE). Specific manufacturers (eg. http://www.thepartybike.com/ ) may use a different form, but these do not describe the generic vehicle. Incidentally I support the merge. --David Edgar (talk) 12:25, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Merged --David Edgar (talk) 11:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

This article is merely self promotion

This article describes briefly what beer bike might mean in a basic way in order to promote their own business. There are far more varieties in the world AND in the U.S. then shown in this entry. There are multiple companies, multiple uses besides drinking in excess while pedaling.

Too bad editing attempts always get deleted (probably by the beer bike companies listed) as fair competition/advertising should be allowed when the page doesn't really provide substantive material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bssrlnd (talk • contribs) 18:25, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Banned in Germany

on public roads. Anywhere else?--Antemister (talk) 21:39, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Contributor Vandalism

This page was originally written by PPyland (talk) 14:09, 4 May 2013 (UTC) and has been added to and revised by various Party Bike manufacturers and operators over the past two years, making the article more relevant and interesting. Each manufacturer and/or operator has shown great respect for each other by not vandalizing the others. However, a new manufacturer who goes by the name of "Editorinsneezes" seems to feel the need to delete competitors photos and information. He has even changed his name to a similar user in order to appear legitimate. It is a shame that one user feels the need to tarnish a good article written by many in the industry by deleting relevant existing info and vandalizing the site for his own gain. What can be done?

Listing of party bike companies

I'm concerned that the long listing of party bike companies along with URLs is violating WP:NOTDIRECTORY. I will plan to remove it unless someone can persuade me here that it has encyclopedic value. Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 18:59, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
