We hired two awesome interns from Norway this summer named Bendik and need better nicknames for the two of them.  Please vote by commenting on the top left.  The best nicknames win a Gotham Bike Light.  I’ll let them tell their story below.

Doing Hard Time… at Gotham Bicycle Defense Industries..

Hello you handsome bikers, we are the two Norwegian cyclists interning at Gotham this summer as part of an Entrepreneurship program at Boston University

So far it’s been a great start, but there’s been one major problem: Of the 1500 Norwegians named Bendik on this planet, Two of them work at Gotham. So we came up with some nicknames the first day, B1 and B2, but soon learned those names were already taken by the popular Australian kids show: Bananas in Pyjamas.
