A concept that has taken off in Asbury Park may be coming to Seaside Heights.<\/p>\n

A local man has proposed starting the borough\u2019s first \u201cpedacycle\u201d business that would take passengers around town and stop at various attractions. A pedacycle is essentially a 15-person bicycle. Bicycle seats line both sides and passengers sit opposite each other and work together to pedal the vehicle through town. A trained operator is in charge of starts and stops, and steering the cycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve been doing it in Asbury Park<\/a>, and we saw some pictures of it,\u201d said Mayor Anthony Vaz. \u201cIt goes from location to location.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea has been pitched to borough officials, who asked the prospective business owner to come to a future council meeting to further explain the business, how it would work in town, and safety issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t sure how he wants to operate it, so we have a few questions,\u201d Vaz said.<\/p>\n

A presentation on the business may come at the May 2 borough council meeting.<\/p>\n

In Asbury Park, the Asbury Pedacycle<\/a> business has been a hit since it debuted. According to that business\u2019s website, the cycle moves between 5-8 m.p.h. and stops at a number of bars through the city. There is no alcohol allowed on the cycle itself, but food and soft drinks can be brought on board. A 90 minute ride costs $30 per person, or the entire bike can be rented for $400.<\/p>\n
