In response to a decrease in business, a brothel in Berlin has begun offering a €5 discount to patrons who arrive via bicycle. The owner has pointed out that it is hard to find parking in the area anyway, and that it also benefits the environment. The brothel business has suffered due to the global financial crisis with patrons becoming more frugal. However, since offering the discount the brothel has reported that their business has started to return.
In order to receive the discount the patron must present the receptionist with a key from a bike padlock or some other proof of using a bicycle. The "green" discount does not apply to those who arrive on foot, however. The owner stated that, unfortunately, there is no way to verify that a patron has indeed walked to the establishment.
