Bikeman Island is a submerged islet about a half-hours canoe ride Southeast of Betio, Kiribati. Due to changing currents and the construction of a causeway between Betio and Bairiki, Bikeman has been submerged since the early 1990s. If one were to stand on Bikeman today, he would have water up to his knees.[1] A picture of Bikeman circa 1976 is available on Flickr.
