The functionality of our bikes will be reliant on human pedal power and will provide novel and fun workouts for participants. The ice cream maker attachment for the Fender Blender will require a full 20 minutes of pedaling to create delicious fruit sorbet! The Charging Station, too, will yield the best results in correlation to the amount of effort expended. Because both of the bikes will produce tangible results apart from the health benefit to the rider, the exercise will become a means to an end and will be more fun and rewarding than pedaling a plain exercise bike would be. There’s also the component of peer support. In our experience of the Fender Blender thus far, we’ve found that the riders draw large cheering sections! The rider then has the satisfaction of sharing their smoothie creation with an appreciative audience. We envision the sorbet output to be an even greater crowd pleaser. Additionally, the sorbet will introduce participants to a healthier “treat” option. The Charging Station will complement the Fender Blender and allow more than one participant to be “head-lined” at a time, making for a nurturing, excitement filled experience for all! The Charging Station bike will be green and will “glow” green when charging devices, helping us to drive home our commitment to a greener world.
