Sperm bikes – yes, really

Posted by Matt | November 15, 2011 | 7 comments so far

OK, I’ll admit I couldn’t help posting this.

I’m trying desperately to avoid the sniggers but it seems that some fertility clinics – of which the Seattle Sperm Bank is just the latest of, er, several – are now delivery sperm using specially adapted cargo bikes which carry their precious cargo at temperatures as low as -150°C in special nitrogen cooled tanks.

Ironically, the cargo bike’s name is BULLITT (built by a Danish manufacturer – Larry vs. Harry) which gives a whole new meaning to the notion of firing blanks!

Read more on Bikemagic where I shamelessly nicked this pic from!

About the author

Matt is one of the founding Molefathers of the Muddymoles, and is the designer and main administrator of the website.

Having ridden a 2007 Orange Five for many years then a 2016 YT Industries Jeffsy 29er, he now rocks a Bird Aether 9 and a Pace RC-627.

An early On-One Inbred still lurks in the back of the stable as a reminder of how things have moved on. You can even find him on road bikes - currently a 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105 SE, a much-used 2011 Specialized Secteur and very niche belt drive Trek District 1.

If you've ever wondered how we got into mountain biking and how the MuddyMoles started, well wonder no more.

  Oo, Oo, Oo, I’ve thought of something!
  
  The Americans would probably think that the rider needed to have a lot of spunk to ride that bike.

Disconcertingly, I think we’ve found Dave’s next niche bike while at the same time discovering what he gets up to in his garage!!

Disconcertingly, going to IVF conferences alot, this is very tasteful. The Calfornia Cryobank thick yoghurt drink in a small sperm shaped container was a “taste” low point. I didn’t see many guys drinking them at conferences.

  You can imagine that ‘sperm drink’ idea was dreamt up in the bar after a few beers. The sort of planning that sounds like a good idea at the time; amazed they ran with it when sober.
