GreenSpace: At Drexel and Temple, pedaling produces electrical power

 

Pedal power, which is used to juice computers, home appliances, cellphones, sound systems and Christmas trees, is generating interest. A group of Temple students, who run a company which sells T-shirts with environmental messages, will be using four bicycles to power the sound at the Manayunk EcoArts Festival. As we brainstormed marketing ideas, we decided it would be cool to have a concert powered by people riding bikes, said Verde Styles' CEO Nish Patel, a senior finance major.

Temple U. Doctors' Team Pedals Miles for Charity

At Temple, more than a dozen medical specialists and resident physicians have been riding together in fundraisers for the past year thanks to two colleagues: Susan Gersh, deputy director of Temple's internal medicine residency program, and Anu Paranjape, interim chief of general internal medicine at Temple. The doctors agree that chatting while riding has also helped bring the medical staff closer. "I was [recently] riding with one of my former med students, and I never get to talk to him because we're always busy at work," said Gersh. "We totally reconnected on that 60-mile ride."
