A pedalo is a form of water borne transport, primarily for recreational use, powered through the use of foot pedals. They are sometimes available for rental on small park lakes. A common type of pedalo allows for two people to sit side by side, pedalling together. In the United States and Australia, these types of boats are colloquially referred to as paddle boats. It was made famous in recent times when Vice Captain of the English Cricket Team, Andrew Flintoff, when in a drunken state. He was stripped of the Vice Captainancy after what is now known as "The Pedalo Incident".[1]
