Discussions have take place about construction of a couple of kid-friendly, bike-related “kits” we could use at various venues to attract attention and interact with more folks. Examples include the bike pump/balloon popping and bike-powered smoothie maker or similar. More info on building these kits is presented via these links. Other ideas welcome!
