The Fender Blender Universale was a hit at Longfellow's Carnival. The booth was busy, there was always a line, kids back for seconds and thirds. They enjoyed picking their own ingredients and mixing their smoothie on a bike using their own legs!
Hazon debuted our Rock The Bike Fender Blender Universale at the San Francisco Jewish Federation Biennial Celebration with attendence in the thousands: Jewish community professionals, lay-leaders, families & teens.
The bike was such a success that Hazon was highlighted in a J-weekly article: www.jweekly.com/article/full/61482/to-honor-its-past-and-....
We've used the FBU at the annual Jewish Environmental Bike Ride, May 6-9th, 2011, and served organic smoothies at the Urban Adamah farm celebration in Berkeley on June 19th.
We're surprised to see that people are interested in the bike powered blender beyond the ability to pedal - children and adults are mesmerized by the actual mechanics of the Fender Blender.
The day before the Carnival, my students were involved by prepping the fresh organic strawberries and bananas. Other favorite frozen ingredients were pineapple, blueberries, mangoes, and raspberries...all organic. My class parents helped run the booth. Room 202 community provided school community by offering a healthy drink while getting exercise. It was wonderful to see the kids and adults working out for their delicious drink.
During and after the Carnival, there were so many compliments on the Fender Blender. Two classrooms used the Fender Blender as part of their End of the Year Celebrations. I had parents asking me where did Longfellow get the Blender and wanted one for themselves. A teacher mentioned that she would like to use it for fundraising for a field trip. The PTA is planning to make coffee and mocha shakes for their night time meetings. The Fender Blender was a wonderful addition to our school carnival. - Helen, Longfellow Elementary School, San Francisco, CA San Francisco Jewish Federation Biennial Celebration

Hazon has found that a pedal-powered blender helps us to engage with the community meaningfully. It's a perfect tool for engagement that incorporates two areas of work: alternative transportation and sustainable food systems.
