Pedal Instead is pleased to announce a $9,000 grant from our new partner, The Columbus Foundation’s Green Fund! This essential support will allow us to replace some of our decrepit equipment and better brand our service. We profusely thank the foundation for this generous support.
The Green Fund especially committed to bicycling safety, so check this site for plenty of reasons to always protect your noggin with a bike helmet!
ComFest Foundation again graced Pedal Instead with their generosity, granting us $2,000 to put towards an Energy Bike from the Ohio Energy Project. Pedalling these bicycles generates energy that can power light bulbs and other small appliances. Pedal Instead will use the bicycles to generate light for nighttime events — people will be able to take turns riding the bicycles all throughout the day so that when it’s dark our volunteers can see to return bikes to people more efficiently. Thanks much to ComFest for the opportunity, and to our friend Kurt Lehmkuhl for engineering our energy bike!
