Gail Borden Book Bike

 
Two staff members wearing hi vis shirts and helmets stand next to their bicycles. One is a standard bicycle, and the other is a tricycle with a large green crate between the two front wheels.The crate on the tricycle is opened up, revealing shelves and bins full of books. A large parasol shades the staff members and the bikes from the sun.
