Pope Francis accepted the gift of an electric Smart bike from Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of management of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz cars division, at the Vatican July 3. Zetsche also gave the pope keys to a popemobile to be used July 22-29 during the pope's visit to Brazil for World Youth Day . (CNS photo/Daimler handout) (July 3, 2013)

So the question is: Will we see Pope Francis riding a white bike around St. Peter's Square anytime soon?

What do you think?
