Election Cycle

From Craig Kelley, B3 customer and running for City Council in Cambridge, MA

My bicycle blender is a HUGE hit. Mounted to what is now known as the "Election Cycle" in honor of my City Council campaign (www.CraigKelley.org), it is really impressing people as an innovative way to get things done. Blending like a fool and loving it. My kids really like the results."

Excerpt from Boston Globe article from Sept. 18th:

"I grab any opportunity to get people to think outside the block," says Kelley, an environmental consultant from North Cambridge.

Then there's the blender, which he also attaches to the back of his bike and uses to make blended drinks by spinning his wheels. He offers a beverage du jour to people who pass his campaign office.

It's all part of his way of projecting his environmentalism -- and the idea that cars aren't the only way to get around Cambridge. ''It's just another example that there are solutions to Cambridge's transportation and air problems," he says.
