Working Bikes at the DPPL Science Fair



The Des Plaines Public Library's Family Science Expo 2011 was a great success due to the combined efforts of all exhibitors, including Working Bikes. The exhibit by Working Bikes was a favorite among the crowd, which numbered over 400. The events attendees were amazed that a simple bicycle, found in nearly every garage in America, was able to produce electricity to power a stereo and a water pump. Several bikes were donated by the attendees of the event to assist with Working Bikes' mission to collect bicycles so that they may be used as tools of empowerment in developing countries. Thanks to the volunteers from Working Bikes for their hard work in making the Des Plaines Public Library's Family Science Expo 2011 a huge success.
