New Google Bikes

Google has supposedly had a new shipment of bikes come in. Roberto Bayardo, a Google Principal Research Scientist on Ad Quality, posted a picture to his Google+ profile. His scientific explanation on why the bikes are so ugly - "to prevent theft."

Classic!

They are pretty ugly, I would never buy a bike in this color, nor would I steal it.
