They're a common site in downtown Detroit, but soon, peddle pubs will be allowed to serve alcohol in Windsor.
The Ontario government will allow alcohol to be served and consumed on large quadricycles, also known as peddle pubs, as of Canada Day. It amended the Liquor License and Control Act.
Alcohol will also be allowed on existing peddle pubs in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Toronto, and Ottawa.
The government hopes the move will support small businesses and the province's tourism industry.
"In the face of tariffs and economic uncertainty, the government is continuing to pursue opportunities to help grow Ontario's $32-billion tourism industry," said a release. It supports 325,000 jobs across the province.
"Pedal pubs offer a fun and memorable way to explore Ontario's communities, and we're making sure that experience is responsible," said Attorney General Doug Downey. "Beginning this summer, Ontario is supporting a unique opportunity that will not only stimulate tourism and bring communities together but also protect local jobs, our economy, and small businesses across the province."
Peddle pubs are offered in cities and towns that have passed a bylaw permitting their operation. Municipalities may set local rules, such as designated riding routes and hours of operation. They'll also need a license to serve alcohol from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
"This summer, pedal pubs are bringing friends, music, and the great outdoors together for an active and unique way to enjoy the journey as much as the destination," said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming Michael Cho.
