Carson City’s Cycle Pub to take part in I-580 Freeway Opening
Carson City’s Cycle Pub will take part in Saturday’s I-580 Freeway opening. The vehicle will be sponsored by Carson City Commercial Real Estate Agent Brad Bonkowski.
Bonkowski wants to call attention to the freeway opening, saying it is good news for Carson City. The faster commute time between Carson City and the I-80 manufacturing corridor will help the area attract small manufacturing and industrial businesses.
The pub, which could be called a human powered bar on wheels, is the only one of its kind in Northern Nevada. It has been operating on the streets of Carson City since May. The pub operates like an oversized bike with barstools in place of bike seats. The people powered pub seats 14 people, ten of those seats are for peddlers.
Bonkowski, who is also a candidate for Carson City Supervisor, will be joined by friends and supporters on the Cycle Pub. They will peddle the new 8 mile stretch of freeway beginning at The Mt. Rose Highway, at 7am Saturday.
