Bikeman Island is a submerged islet about a half-hour's canoe ride northeast 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, the water would reach up to one's knees.[1]

[fr] Bikeman

L'île Bikeman est un îlot submergé situé à environ une demi-heure de pirogue au nord-est de Betio, dans les Kiribati. En raison de l'évolution des courants et de la construction d'une chaussée entre Betio et Bairiki, l'île est submergé depuis le début des années 1990 et forme un haut fond quelques dizaines de centimètres sous le niveau de la mer[1].

[it] Bikeman

L'isola di Bikeman è un'isoletta sommersa situata a circa 7 km a nord-est dell'isola di Betio, nell'atollo di Tarawa (Kiribati). A causa del cambiamento delle correnti nella laguna dovuto alla costruzione, di una strada rialzata fra Betio e Bairiki, Bikeman è sommersa fin dall'inizio degli anni novanta[1]. Se una persona stesse in piedi su ciò che rimane di Bikeman, oggi, l'acqua gli arriverebbe alle ginocchia.[2][3]
