BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin brothel has come up with a novel way to negate 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.

"The recession has hit our industry hard," said Thomas Goetz, owner of the "Maison d'envie" brothel.

"Obviously we hope that the discount will attract more people," he added. "It's good for business, it's good for the environment -- and it's good for the girls."

Customers who arrive on bicycle or who can prove they took public transportation get a 5-euro ($7) discount from the usual 70-euro ($100) fee for 45 minute sessions, Goetz told Reuters. He said the environmentally friendly offer was working.

"We have around 3-5 new customers coming in daily to take advantage of the discount," he said, adding the green rebate has helped alleviate traffic and parking congestion in the neighborhood.

Germany is one of the few countries in the world where prostitution is legal. It has about 400,000 prostitutes who, since 2002, have been allowed to enter formal labor contracts.

They want some of the fit guys they see pedaling by.

Stay cycling and you'll lose it quick.

Your definition of "quick" is peculiar.

12. I'll bet your ass isn't that bad.

I just haven't know many people who cycle regularly who have it THAT BAD in the ass or thighs. I've known people who are naturally thick in their fit state, but they are sexy too. Its just a different body type.

13. Thank god, you're one of the only people on this site that hasn't seen that infamous pic
