I do not make this stuff up. The Sperm Bullitt recently appeared on the Copenhagen cycling scene, courtesy of Nordisk Cryobank. Nordisk is one of Europe's leading sperm banks -- the company was looking at environmentally-friendly transport methods to deliver sperm samples to fertility clinics around Greater Copenhagen and landed on the Sperm Bullitt. In addition to being CO2 friendly and having a sophisticated cooling system inside the head of the giant sperm cell, the Bullitt provides an added benefit: folks stop to ask about it and have their photo taken with the bike, thus raising awareness of the need for sperm donors. "We're always looking for new donors so it's a fine bonus that the Sperm Cell Bike gets peoples attention," says CEO Peter Bower.
Wonder what sort of reaction that’d get at the next cycling club group ride?

The photo may be jarring to the safety-conscious, but there's something beautifully symbolic about the fact that he's not wearing a helmet.
