The ever first "cosy bike" of Scotland is ferrying the roads of Edinburgh at speeds of up to five miles per hour. Engineered by a 31 year old former theater technician, the bike's design attracted Iain Urquhart, the Edinburgh businessman, who right away got one shipped from Germany. The seven-person cycle has now altered Iain Urquhart's desire to set up a mountain biking company. The maker claims this as the perfect way to go around the city's parks and promenades.

Iain Urquhart remarked, "Its real name is a conference bike, but it seemed a bit too formal. I call it a cosy bike as it's a very friendly and sociable bike to ride. It was originally designed by an American artist living in Amsterdam, but a German company made it a bit more elegant and streamlined. This is the first time one is available in Edinburgh. There are about 200 around the world, but only four in the UK. A lot of them are in theme parks. I'm hoping to hire it out for all sorts of events. It's great fun for parties and weddings, as well as festivals and parades."

Cosy bike can seat seven people with independent pedal sets with one controlling the steering. Mr Urquhart has decided to enter cosy bike hiring business fulltime. The rent would be £100 per hour with discounts for charity events. With exciting design and no emission, cosy bikes are sure in enthusing tourists and environmentalists.
