On Monday lunchtime, we had a lady from the council come in with a smoothie blender bike. To get the smoothie, we needed to bring a banana and peddle on the bike. This bike was a special bike that was balanced on a stand and only had 1 wheel. The w heel spun a tiny plastic cylinder thing which spun the blade in the blender. It’s like a normal electric blender that you probably have, except it’s more eco-friendly because it uses human power! First, I donate my bananas. Then, I waited a long time for the bike ride. There were lots of people in front and behind me. My friend and I had our turn, and we encouraged each other to pedal faster by saying “Pedal like you’ve been to Canterburys.” If you don’t know, Canterburys is a competition against the best of the best of each zone in Canterbury. My friend and I both went to Canterburys for running, so I think we were peddling very fast when it was our turn. Finally, we got a medium sized cup of banana smoothie. I wished I had more because it tasted so good.
Would you rather have an electric blended smoothie but live in a poor life or work a little harder for the better of everyone?
