He can bike
Electronic components manufacturer Murata Manufacturing Co. developed a bike riding robot called "Murataseisaku-kun." The name comes from the company's Japanese name - Murata Seisakusho - and the "kun" at the end is a title we use when calling male children/friends (f.e. Ken-kun, Suzuki-kun). It's such an easy name within Japan but impossible overseas. But we'll probably find more and more robots with names that end in a "kun" or "chan" (for girls) or "san" (most common title) because they sound friendlier to the general public. You can see some pictures of Murataseisaku-kun at this site. He can ride backwards too.
