Swag

In May, Shifting Gears goes wild, and the city takes up sustainable transportation en masse.

I frenetically criss-cross the city by bike, pulling a stylish trailer full of giveaways.

Every workplace that participates gets a visit, and most folks are gleefully excited to be recognized for their efforts.

The other upside, of course, is the swag.

I just took shipment of a mondo-sized box of MEC turtle lights. Marvelous glowy LED lights for people travelling by bike or foot. I used one that lasted for roughly a year, with near daily use.

These are one of several useful giveaways that Peterborough Shifting Gears participants get all month long.

And, wait, did I hear something about free bike fenders?
