MIT PN2K was at the MIT Wellness Fair on Friday, November 7, helping to promote stress reduction and a healthy style of living via cycling. Attendees were instructed to pick up a few fava beans and drop them into the cup(s) that held true for them. At first, we only had the "I need a bike helmet" and "I need bike lights" cup -- then people started saying that they didn't have bikes - Blasphemy! So we created another cup for those who need bikes! We learned a few things:
1) Of those who visited our table, 53 were cyclists, 27 needed bikes.
2) Of those cyclists, many still need helmets.
3) Of those cyclists, many more still needed bike lights.
We are holding an event soon to kick off our bike lights fundraiser. Students, keep your eyes peeled for subsidized lights from PN2K!
