Environmental protection was a big draw for Dunham. "It is definitely an issue that I think about a lot, and what I really wanted to do was show that you can actually use your bike as a vehicle."
Solecki looks forward to the One Less Car Event becoming a mainstay at OSU in years to come.
"It's a great event, a great cause," Solecki said.
Dunham also plans on attending next year.
"It was good," Dunham said. "I've been using the cart with the kayak for three or four months, but this is the longest ride I've done on it. "
Participation was free. However, those who paid a fee - of $10 for students and $15 for community members - were given a t-shirt and entered into a drawing for prizes, which included a bike and gift certificates from the Darkside and Avalon Cinemas as well as the First Alternative Co-op.
"Our main goals were to increase social interaction, increase awareness of the issue while at the same time increasing people's enjoyment of being active," Benrath said.
If the environment can benefit too, things are that much better.
