Conference Bike

Conference BikeFinally, a bicycle built for seven! Thanks to srah for the tip off.

The video on the Conference Bike Website is very funny. (Make sure to watch the longer one.) Where the Sinucleanse video was unintentionally funny, this one really shoots for the cornball laughs. So they lose some irony points, but make up for it with an unabashedly goofy product.

The only thing I could think during the first thirty seconds of the video was that it reminded me of meetings, sort of pointless with some aimless wandering. But then things pick up a bit with a little romance, and it all works out in the end. And of course, the cheesy 1950s soundtrack is the finishing touch. But don't take my word for it!

this would be the perfect way for all of us to get around ALA Midwinter together! we'd be the stars of the conference, appearing at presentations on our conference bike.

I call blue! They should call the movie "Seven Brides for Seven Bikers."
