- Canada’s Bixi creates royal wedding present from London Mayor
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, unveiled his gift to the royal couple at a ceremony in Trafalgar Square. Evidently he was quite pleased with himself and his choice of gift. In case you don’t believe me, check out the video below featuring Cartoon Boris whizzing past the royal couple.
Before you get all excited, the bike was not funded by Canadian or British tax payers. The bike was supplied by Serco (they operate bike rentals in London), and made by the Canadian Public Bike System Company.
The chairman of the Public Bike System Company, Roger Plamondon, said: “We are very proud of the work we have accomplished to make this special gift a reality and are delighted to find our BIXI at the heart of the royal festivities.
So is this the best wedding gift ever? What slightly impractical gift would you put at the top of your wedding registry?
