Fans of pedaling and hoisting drinks in Rochester may have only another month to get their fill.

PedalPub Rochester is planning to shut down after the 2015 season ends in mid-November.

"It just was not bringing in the ridership we had hoped for," said Managing Partner Al Boyce, who is also part of PedalPub Twin Cities.

The 16-passenger bar on wheels was well-received when it opened in 2013 in the medical town, Boyce said. But high storage prices in downtown Rochester have played a role in making it less viable.

"If somebody else would like to run it that had their own storage, they could probably do quite well with it," Boyce said.

The pub will still honor upcoming reservations and take new ones through Nov. 15, Boyce said.
