A bar on wheels

Your own mobile party, powered by your crew

Picture 15 of you around a moving bar, pedalling through the Northern Quarter or the Baltic Triangle with a cold one in hand and your playlist up loud. A sober driver steers and handles the traffic. You handle the pedalling, the pouring and the singing.

It's the bit of the night out everyone actually talks about afterwards - heads turning on the pavement, photo stops along the way, and your whole group in one place from start to finish.

No hidden extras

Before you book

Questions, answered

Everything students ask us about pricing, licensing, group sizes and the weather. Still unsure?

WhatsApp +44 7535 024853
How much does a party bike cost in Manchester or Liverpool?

£17.50 per person, including unlimited beer or cider on board. The bike seats 14–15 and we need a minimum of 8 to roll, so a full mobile party starts at £140 total. Smaller crew? Team up with another course or society group. More than 15? Message us and we’ll run multiple bikes side by side.

What drinks are included in the price?

Unlimited beer or cider is included with every booking — no bar tab, no topping up and no surprise round costs. Prefer something fizzier? Prosecco is an optional upgrade you add when you book, and we’ll have it chilled and ready when you arrive.

Can you legally drink alcohol on a party bike in the UK?

Yes, on ours you can. PedalCity is the UK’s first fully-licensed party bike, which means drinking on board while you ride is completely legal — no BYOB workarounds and no awkward halfway stops at a pub. Your unlimited beer or cider is waiting when you arrive.

Is the party bike licensed, insured and safe?

Yes on all three. PedalCity is the UK’s first fully-licensed party bike operator, every ride has a professional sober driver at the wheel, the bikes meet strict safety standards and we’re fully insured. You pedal, sip and enjoy — we handle the rest. See exactly what’s included on board

Where does the party bike start in Manchester and Liverpool?

Manchester rides start at Nancy Spain’s, 21 Hilton St in the Northern Quarter. Liverpool rides start at Black Lodge Brewing, 3 Kings Dock St in the Baltic Triangle, where there’s an indoor/outdoor bar and ping pong if you arrive early. You’ll get your exact start point and arrival time by email once you’ve booked.

Can we pay a deposit and split the cost between the group?

Yes — pay in full now, or leave a deposit to reserve your date and settle the balance later. Full payment is due at least 7 days before your ride and we send reminder emails, so nobody in the group forgets their share. Work out the cost per person

What’s the minimum age, and do we need student ID?

Everyone drinking must be 18 or over, and valid photo ID may be checked on the day — so bring it. You don’t need a student ID to book: the ride is built around student groups but it’s open to absolutely everyone.

Can we play our own music on board?

Yes — there’s a sound system on the bike and you connect your own playlist to it. Whatever your group wants blasting through the Northern Quarter or the Baltic Triangle is entirely up to you.

What happens if it rains?

The ride goes ahead rain or shine. Every bike has a roof for cover, though it won’t block 100% of the wind or rain — so on a proper Manchester or Liverpool day, bring a coat and you’ll be grand.

What happens after we book?

You get an instant confirmation email with your start location, arrival time and drinks info. Arrive 15 minutes early so you don’t lose ride time. There are photo stops along the route and your driver takes pictures of the group too — all that’s left is to show up and bring the energy.

Can I speak to someone before I book?

Of course. WhatsApp is the quickest way to reach us — message or call +44 7535 024853 and we’ll help you pick a date, sort a bigger group or answer anything before you commit. Message us on WhatsApp
