Meals on 2 Wheels has First Birthday
By the Numbers
1: number of years Meals on 2 Wheels has been alive
2: number of wheels on a bicycle
617: number of meals delivered by bicycle
768: miles NOT used by automobiles to deliver meals on wheels (est)
51: gallons of fuel saved (@15 mpg)
This may not seem like much. But add to these numbers the intangibles of good exercise and feelings of accomplishment for the riders, plus good will and appreciation in the client community, and you have a really wonderful experience all around, with no negatives that any of us can think of.
There really isn't much to add now. We have written about how satisfying it is to ride with a purpose above necessity or recreation. And we have proved to be a sustainable asset to the community.
Many thanks to the Meals on 2 Wheels Riders:
