SOURCE-It’s a turnover bike, Oliver explained, in the vein of Miami’s turnover chain and other such novelties that have proliferated in college football. Or, as it was dubbed in a tweet from Thacker, the “Takeaway Cruzer,” a one-speed with red tires with a face mask attached below the handlebars.
I am IN on the TAKEAWAY CRUZER. I can see it now. I have Georgia Tech +4.5 against Duke on a random Thursday night and a random Georgia Tech DB picks off the Duke QB (who is somehow an NFL prospect) late in the 4th quarter only to celebrate on the TAKEAWAY CRUZER. Talk about a viral clip.
