Zigo Sponsors Maplewood Green Day Fair

I spent a great day yesterday demonstrating the Zigo Leader Carrier Bicycle System at the Green Day Fair in Maplewood, NJ. I live one town over in South Orange, NJ, so thought that Zigo as a "hometown" company should be a sponsor. We had a constant parade of kids coming by to get the biodegradable balsa wood gliders and recycled plastic ring flyers we were giving out. New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine even stopped by and shook our hands. We're sure he loves Zigo! The Maplewood Green Day Fair is a really fun event and we encourage everyone to attend next year. I took some pictures and will upload them later.

Rode my Zigo Leader Carrier Bike in Jake's Ride for Dystonia Research Today

I rode my Zigo Leader Carrier Bicycle (http://www.myzigo.com/) for Dystonia Research in Jakes Ride in Short Hills, NJ, along with my wife on her own Zigo and my two sons. The funds raised through Jake’s Ride for Dystonia Research benefit The Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia & Parkinson Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to find better treatments and cures for these movement disorders, and to provide medical patient information. Last year the ride raised enough money to fund four research grants.

The ride was great, touring through scenic Short Hills, NJ. The weather cooperated with barely a cloud in the sky, and turnout was 1,000 riders. They had a great band playing Beatles, U@ and other British cover music and all day. There was free bagels, rice cakes, and drinks, and a neat raffle. I even won Giant's tickets.
