The Busycle: a 15 person bike

It is very good to see that we are not the only one building multi-person bikes.

Boston-based artists Heather Clark and Matthew Mazzotta had an idea and a lot of energy to see what they could accomplish. Starting with a $1,000 grant from the Berwick Research Institute, they set to work with limited engineering skills and some borrowed tools to build a 15-person bicycle-truck called the Buscycle.



I like the name busycle. It sounds really good and is original at the same time.

Maybe we should rename our bike into something more original as well. What about Beercycle. Barcycle. Pubcycle. or beervelo which sounds a bit similar to the bike brand Cervelo. Maybe they would even be interested in sponsoring with a name like this. Other names that come to mind are Decavelo (as the bike is cycled by ten people), Decacycle and Tencycle..............!?!

Anyone other suggestions?
