ACcykels

ACcykels is a fictional bicycle manufacturer featured in the animated television series Futurama. The company is presented as a purveyor of bicycles, and their products are seen in various episodes. While the specific details of ACcykels' operational history or product line are not extensively explored, they serve as a recurring visual gag and a detail that adds to the futuristic world-building of the show.

The name "ACcykels" itself is a portmanteau, combining "AC," a common abbreviation for alternating current, with "cykels," a phonetic spelling of "cycles," meaning bicycles. This juxtaposition hints at the idea of electrically powered or technologically advanced bicycles within the Futurama universe, fitting the show's often retro-futuristic aesthetic. ACcykels bicycles are depicted as somewhat mundane objects within the advanced society of the year 3000, highlighting the enduring presence of traditional modes of transportation even in a technologically saturated future. They are often seen being ridden by background characters or present in shops, contributing to the overall visual landscape of New New York. The company's presence reinforces the show's satirical take on consumerism and the persistence of familiar brands and products across vast spans of time.
