Smoothie Bike Presentation Azra Nath Travel Plan Champion Moss
Hall Infant School Feb 2012
Slide 2
What is a smoothie bike? This is a bicycle that you pedal so
that you can make a smoothie drink in a blender which is attached
to the bike.
Slide 3
We hired a smoothie bike for our summer fair. This cost
approximately 125 for the weekend. (prices may have changed this
year) It came in a bike size box and the site manager and I easily
assembled it the night before the fair. We hired a front blender
bike so the children could see what they were blending when they
peddled. The time consuming aspect was preparing all the fruit
before hand so we allowed quite bit of time for this.
Slide 4
Before the our summer fair, I did two assemblies with the
Infant School about healthy living, making smoothies and learning
to ride bicycles. The smoothie bike was an exciting way for the
children to see the relationship between all these themes. This
year I am going to do a smoothie competition so that the top three
are featured on our smoothie menu!
Slide 5
The Travel Plan team gave us lots of bikability and sustainable
travel promotional material which we attached to our gazebo and
then distributed with each smoothie.
Slide 6
Our fantastic Moss Hall Schools Association managed to get most
of the fruit for the smoothies donated by a local business. I was
joined in my Smoothie Bike adventure by Travel Plan Champions Jenny
Luke from Moss Hall Junior School and Jane Ouseley from Moss Hall
Nursery in the end we had quite a lot of volunteers and loads of
customers! We raised nearly 300 on this stall which is apparently
the most a smoothie stall has ever made at the fair.
