Earth Day at Empire School

Pickup Truck Bike

Empire Public School celebrated Earth Day today with an environmental fair.  The Bicycle Forest was invited to promote the benefits of cycling.  We brought along a laptop so kids could design their own bikes using BikeCAD.  Here are a couple of designs created by the kids.  Pretty creative!

Because it was rainy today, Mohrgan and I elected to ride the pickup truck bike. We stayed nice and dry as we pedalled away inside. There was room in the back for a Hulabike, so we brought that along too. Both bikes were a big hit with the kids.

Here’s a video of our ride across town.

Tree Huggers in Santa Claus Parade

Sunday, November 19th, 2006
Yesterday, several environmental groups from around the region joined together to enter a float in the KW Santa Claus Parade. The Bicycle Forest contributed most of the bikes.  Although the forecast was looking grim, the rain held off and it ended up being a pretty good day.  Our parade entry was a big hit with the crowds. Check out this video and photos from the day.
