The Spirit of the Animals is in the Wheels

Bicycles Ribbon Recipient
Imagine an aluminum bison trundling down Mack Ave or a scaled 19 foot pangolin waddling into a middle school parking lot. These pedal-powered beasts deliver school-aged passengers to 826michigan tutoring with courage, humor, and joy. The mechanical animals are a joint project between Juan and author Dave Eggers for 826 Michigan.
