MMMM, Pedal-Powered Smoothies
September 14, 2007
Kyr Westwind is the mastermind behind Sprocket Smoothies, a pedal-powered mobile smoothie production, and this Sunday she's bringing her set up to Bike to the Future. Kyr has a Miyata modified with an Extracycle extension. Anyone can pedal to make the smooties, and Kyr is always willing to step in if need be, but this weekend Sprocket Smoothies will be powered by the students of Sunnyside Environmental School. During the school day, these students spend time learning about environmental practices and working on projects such as school gardens, composting and a solar fountain. And they love the idea of making yummy peach and yogurt smoothies while riding a bike.
Register for Bike to the Future online before Friday at midnight and you'll save $10, or you can register at the start line on the morning of the ride.

Is this the same as the one that the Shift To Bikes kids use?

It is one of two bike-blender set-ups used by SHIFT. It is the same one that was at this years MCBF, recent Breakfast on the Bridges, and SHIFT's spot at the Belmont Street Fair earlier this month. I am a passionate and active SHIFTie :)

I didn't do the ride becauseI had to work but I was watching the kids pedal and it looked like so much fun. I think it is important for kids to see that and then they were helping too.

IT WAS FUN thank you for an informative day full of inspiration and amazing projects. I have been telling everyone I know (people who ride bikes) to come on out next year. Thank you.

Sweet! Where can I buy one of those? I work with kids and we do some bicycle programs on the side and they would really like this. I can think of a million ways to put this blender to good use. Where did you get it?
