It is all obvious or trivial except…

 

 

What an offer!

July 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments

A Berlin brothel has come up with a novel way to offset the impact of the global economic crisis and target a new group of customers at the same time – offering a discount to patrons who arrive on bicycles.

Hmmm.

Not sure about this:

A study in 2002 found that ED can also be associated with bicycling. The number of hours on a bike and/or the pressure on the penis from the saddle of an upright bicycle is directly related to erectile dysfunction.

So the discount is specifically for those who cannot make use of the service on offer then?

    I’d always wondered why the “lycra nazi” fanatical cyclists lobby were such a miserable bunch… :-)

    A connection between bicycle-riding and male genital disorder has been fairly-well recognized for at least 50 years and suspected for an even longer time.

    I’m actually surprised no entrepreneur/inventor has presented some less-damaging alternative.

    Lower prices for those with lower demand is a good application of market segmentation and price discrimination.
