    Taxonomy and Description

    Kwajalein bicycles are of the species Bicyclus Kwajaleinus. The full taxonomy or scientific classification is, phylum Apparatus, class Transportatum, Order Vehiculum, Family Circuitous, Genus Bicyclus, Species Kwajwajleinus.

    That’s B. Kwajaleinus for short, commonly known as the Kwaj Bike. Taxonomists know it colloquially as B. Kwaj.

    B. Kwaj comes mostly in two varieties, the Huffy’s and the Suns. Both come from China; both are made of steel. The mass of these bikes suggests that the tubes are solid steel, but the short life span reveals that the tubes are actually hollow.

    That reminds me, about ten years ago I invented a binomial nomenclature for bicycles. I must dig it out.
