A group cycle vehicle is a non-motorized, trolley- shaped vehicle that carries up to 16 people.

On February 7, 2013, Staff received a request from Mrs. Vicki Peden, Managing Partner of Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, to allow a name change to the operating authority ordinance. The name Cycle Pub is trademarked so the company must change the name to avoid legal issues. The City Council is asked to approve the name change from Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, to Cowtown Cycle Party, LLC. Staff has no objections to Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC's name change, and will ensure that all terms and conditions follow the standards of the City's Vehicle for Hire Ordinance.
