    On Baggot St (Dublin) at lunchtime I saw a bloke pushing along a very white bike* with a Google logo on the downtube.

    Anyone know what the story is? Is this some sort of corporate cycling initiative, or is he so full of Google-juice that he's re-branded his own bike?

    * this is obviously what attracted my attention

    edit: "pics or GTFO" perhaps, but my current phone doesn't even have bluetooth.

    While i'd like a free bike, the more I hear about that place, the more it sounds like a cult.

    I've been spotting them around town for a few years now. I reckon they did a deal with someone for staff.

    Yeah I saw a very pretty blonde girl on a green Google bike a while ago, i nearly crashed complimenting her bike around Leeson street upper; it was kind of a comfortable chopper looking thing.(the bike).
