I am by formal training and career-wise a librarian for many years until recently (made a slight switch, but still in information management). For fun in a way, sometimes cycing is used by cycling-librarians to break down stereotypes other people may have ..the fuddy-duddy librarian:

This article was focusing on a fun promotional partnership between bike-commuting (to library/work) and visiting/using libraries in general. This main library headquarters is located in downtown Toronto near bike lanes.
