Thus this bike can be the</em><em> best choice in an in-campus traveling where students in the universities or employees in the company can move around the campus in groups.</em><em> A ride in a cluster bike is not only joyful but it is also a test of coordination between the riders. </em><em>The vehicle is designed to provide an environmentally friendly bike and to make people </em><em>associate</em><em> with others in a free while even in a busy routine.</em></p> ER -
