 Magic Bike :: Wireless Access Bike
Bicycles are also traditional symbols of political movements ranging from the women’s movement in the latter 19th century, to the labor movements of the early 20th century, through today where bicycles are held in high esteem as a clean, energy-efficient alternative to a global dependence on oil and urban sprawl.
WiFi antennas mounted on the bike's frame feed into a laptop embedded into a specially outfitted bicycle side-bag.
A Magicbike hotspot operates like standard hotspots, able to serve up to 250 users in a radius of 30 meters indoors and 100 meters outdoors [although its antennas can increase the hotspot’s accuracy and range].

 NewburyOpen.net WiFi Forum: No Security at HotSpot in coffee shops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
WiFi is convenient, but it also makes it convenient for others to do bad things unless you're careful.
Well, the hospot provides DNS services for you (via DHCP which is how almost 100% of the public hospots operate) and it takes the first attempt to go outside and automatically returns the IP address of the splash page server (so you can presumeably pay or hit "I agree" or something similar).
It's an evil way of doing things and it's possible that they could, with enough time and effort, make it so that no one can figure out what's going on, with the exception that the SSL certificate that the fake site uses will be wrong.
