由于骑车者围坐一圈就像开会一样，所以这种新型自行车也被戏称作是“会议自行车”。不过发明者斯泰勒更愿意将这种自行车称作是“微笑机器”，他认为这是最具有社交性的交通工具。 & P8 J$ `# j) P2 f

"People need this bike. I think people are ready to get out of their cars and off their sofas and get silly. It lowers inhibitions and after a few minutes even complete strangers begin talking to each other. People have even fallen in love on these bikes. And you move along on your own energy - renewable energy," the Daily Mail quoted Staller as saying. ' h/ e* R8 w: P$ a2 [6 n7 _) P. S! U
