Conference Bikes
Billed as the greenest, cleanest, coolest form of transit and entertainment, conference bikes are all the rage in Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Glasgow, Scotland, and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
One person steers; seven people provide the energy. On a flat surface, speeds top out at 12-15 mph, but speed isn't the ultimate goal. It's all about looking at the world from a different perspective, thinking creatively, and breaking away from routine.
Cycle Seven in Minneapolis rents the bikes out for parties, team building exercises, marketing, parades, weddings, and more. It comes with an experienced operator so six people can ride worry free. Looks like fun!
I wonder what Memphis drivers would think about sharing the road with one of these.
