BIXI gets the Royal touch
MONTREAL - Ahhhhh! Will and Kate on a bicycle built for two.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will offer a one-of-a-kind BIXI as a wedding gift to Prince William and Kate Middleton.
"It is a tandem version of the traditional BIXI bicycle developed jointly by Michel Dallaire and Devinci Cycles which we delivered at the request of our London partner, Serco" declared Roger Plamondon, Chairman of the board at Public Bike System Company.
The regal tandem maintains the distinguished silhouette, visual signature, and qualities of robustness and comfort which are staples of the traditional BIXI. It contains an oversized downtube to ensure the bike's rigidity, seven speeds, an adapted braking system, a greater wheelbase (1 800 mm vs 1 111 mm) and two bells.
The unique design of the tandem's pedal and gear mechanism will make it such that the lovebirds will ride together in harmony.
"We are very proud of the work we have accomplished to make this special gift a reality and are delighted to find our BIXI at the heart of the royal festivities," concluded Mr. Plamondon.
