Speedy

I don't know what this strange type of bicycle is called, but it seemed to have about 6 people sat on it in circle formation all madly peddling away.

I'd seen one of these things a bit earlier that day while having a pilsner & currywurst at a cafe near the Holocaust Memorial but I didn't get a chance to capture it. This photo was taken just next to the Brandenburg Gate and I saw another of these things coming towards me at quite a speed, about 20 mph at a guess so I thought I'd risk life & limb trying to capture it at the last minute just before it almost ran me over!

Luckily I managed to snap it and jump out of the way just in time.

More Info: This thing looks like it's a "Bike Taxi" and I have found a pic of one without riders which shows it has 1 driver + 5 "passengers" (Are you a "passenger" if you are peddling?)
