Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Seattle gets a sperm bike

In a completely awesome marketing gimmick, European Sperm Bank USA has released a sperm bike into the streets of Seattle.

The bike is how the company will transport samples from their trail-side Seattle Sperm Bank building — located where the Burke-Gilman crosses 25th Ave NE — to two fertility services facilities. One is on Westlake Ave N and the other is on First Hill.

The bike weighs 110 lbs fully-loaded (*giggles*), so the bike has been outfitted with an electric motor to help out. The customized Bullitt cargo bike was created with the help of Portland’s Splendid Cycles.
