When off to Dublin, to collect the kegs from @Molc I mentioned about the Beer Bike setup I had planned.
Well, here it is, photos from the initial test carried out after a long day spend on getting the place ready for the annual Christmas Festival - Winterval Waterford.

Overall way handier and more interesting than bringing 2 crates of homebrew to the party :)

Bike: Larry vs. Harry Bullitt Cargobike
Powered by: Bafang BBS-01 36V 500W motor + 14,2Ah battery, (assist mode)
Battery Range: 20-70km per charge (@40+km/h or @18km/h), usually ~30kms range (charged overnight, daily)

Bought 14 months ago, so far 3700 kms done.
Doubles as a car for school runs + weekly shopping.
My usual commuter.

Hehe convenient. How does the beer pour after been shook up on the cycle over? :)
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

One of the breweries walking distance from my house when I was in Seattle actually used to deliver kegs to bars using their bike.

Rather quickly with full keg emptied in 2 days :)
Got foamy after the cold keg warmed up.

Hehe, I've finally found a proper use for a sunroom in Ireland - keeping kegs serving cool! :D

Snap, my cider is currently chilling @12C in my conservatory. Wont work in the summer though as the temperature hits 40C in it .

Looking at these pics again, I can just picture Bart cycling along with the picnic tap in his mouth having a roaring time :D
