2007 Transportation Talks

Ben	Mark

Tonight we had Ben and Mark talk about their experiences with transportation. Ben (a fellow Grinnellian) has never owned car and so his bike is his main form of transportation. Also, he's been working on the soon-to-be-built Fairfield city bike trail system, that will make it easier for Fairfieldians to get around town on bike. Mark spoke about his project of converting bicycles into electric bikes that allow greater range for bike commuters. He also talked about his vision of vehicles that occupy a gray area in between cars and bikes: 3 wheeled electric trikes with solar panels, electric scooters, etc. Big thanks go to our speakers!

Sorry for the picture quality--it's pretty dark in the barn in the evenings
