Zoos and Bicycles

Barcelona Zoo Transport


It was lovely to see bicycles in action at Barcelona Zoo, used by the staff to get around the park. Like many zoos, each exhibition has it's own bicycles. Above, the sticker, refers to a marine exhibit.

Barcelona Zoo Cargo Bike Acrobat


It was interesting to see a Danish Acrobat cargo bike from Esimex at the zoo selling ice cream and soft drinks. The solar panel sticking up was a bit wobbly and I wouldn't want to ride the trike in wind, but hey, it is perfect for riding or pushing the trike around the zoo.
 

Primates Bicycle


Here is a Copenhagen version of the Primate exhibit's bicycle. Sturdy front rack for carrying gear.

Zoological Cycle Chic


Every bike at the Copenhagen Zoo is equipped with practical front and/or back racks. At left it is lovely to see that cycling is sociable even at the zoo.
 

Ice Bikes


And here is a fleet of ice cream bikes, from Acrobat, at the Copenhagen Zoo. As far as I recall, the Sushi Bike that serves the beaches in Copenhagen is also the same brand.
 

Tapir Bicycles outside the Tapir House at Copenhagen Zoo


Even the humble Tapir exhibit at the Copenhagen Zoo is equipped with dedicated bicycles.
 

Zoo Berlin Holding On


And since we're on the theme, here's a zoo employee heading home by bicycle in Berlin.
