Tricycle billboard in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Advertising bike.

A **billboard bicycle** (advertising bike) is a type of mobile advertising in which a bike tows a billboard with an advertising message. Gary Saunders of [Queens, NY](/source/Queens), New York began the billboard bicycle concept in 1997. His billboard bicycle was geared toward messenger bikes and measured 12" by 18".[1]

## Types

Since the introduction of the billboard bicycle, several different variations of the billboard bicycle, differing in both size and appearance, have been constructed. Today, billboard bicycles come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some billboard bicycles are one unit. Others are composed of a bike and a detachable billboard. Some billboard bicycles are specially manufactured to have a unique look in order to further attract an audiences attention. Others are simple frames which focus attention solely on the advertising message. Some billboard bicycles use large billboards; however the size of the billboard is limited by wind constraints. Other billboards are small, like Gary Saunders original messenger signs.
