There are many reports of nuisance from all over the world, related to the beer bicycle. These are urinating in public, blocking the cycle path and public drunkenness. 

Due to the increased arrival of tourists in Scheveningen, residents are a lot of nuisance from drunk and screaming people. Enforcers have their hands full with this nuisance to take preventive action, but do little more about it.

"In Scheveningen it seems that everything is permitted and the enforcement is practically zero. What is striking is that as soon as one comes to the boulevard, beach or the sea, everything must be possible, all brakes are releasedResidents of Scheveningen.

Many municipalities have a traffic implementation agenda. This varies, among other things, from tackling catering nuisance and nuisance by the nightlife public, noise nuisance on the water, nuisance from coaches, the beer bicycle, nuisance from illegal hotels and nuisance from events.

Amsterdam as a paragon approach to nuisance.

The majority of the measures are part of the regular policy cycles in the central city and districts. This means that the Executive Board and the Board Committees are primarily responsible. The development and implementation is in the hands of the RVEs and the districts, but regional and non-municipal parties are also involved.

The City in Balance program assumes that these municipal measures are prepared and implemented in close collaboration with the City in Balance team, whereby the team identifies, connects and drives.

Stad in Balans, for example, has played an advisory role in the regulations concerning the beer bicycle. The regulations concerning the beer bicycle were drawn up at the instigation of the mayor and the chairman of the Center's executive committee. The team also played an advisory role in the discussion about the permit for the hottug and also encouraged to establish a relationship with enforcement (which is part of the mayor's portfolio) in specific areas of new policy.

The hottug is forbidden in advance and in the summer of 2016 it was decided that the beer bike will be banned in certain areas from 1 January 2017. Tackling the beer bicycle related nuisance is one of the short-term measures mentioned in Stad in Balans.
