Utilizing Camping Gear On A Trip

By Jason Larrsohn


Bikers far outnumber the drivers on the road in Japan. Most people prefer to walk or ride their bike to and from work every day.

Only instead of just honoring the artists, the Oscar is truly a representation of the work of a whole host of individuals. From the producer down to the guy that delivers the coffee, every single person involved in a film is honored when an Oscar for best motion picture is handed down.

Even when it comes down to the award for best lead, no star is a star without the help of everyone involved. And that crew is honored every year at the famous Oscars.

Health and fitness insurance programs have been created to encourage similar behavior, and environmentalists have been pushing it for years. The benefit of biking helps the environment just as much as it helps the people not using their vehicles.

Pollutants from excess vehicle use would reduce significantly, clearing up the smoggy air and helping preserve the precious earth. Change is coming hard though, even with the possibility of health insurance benefits, a cleaner environment, and bike lanes.

The weather is too hot or too cold. People don't want to get sweaty or hat hair before coming into work or school.

Others simply don't want to get up in time to make the trip possible. The only way people have found to combat these reasons are by offering incentives to make the experience better, incentives that add on to the bike lane and reduced health insurance rates.

Only two statues are awards: silver, and bronze. To receive either is a huge honor, and the University of Miami brings that bronze statue home with pride from the 34th Annual Telly Awards.

"Building Champions" is a new campaign asking for the support of new students, alumni, and investors alike to build champions at the U of M.

These prongs stand about five and a half feet in the air, making it easy to reach any part of the bike without having to bend over much. Attached to the station are a number of useful tools that you might need to fix a flat tire, wobbly wheels, and slipping chains.

These tools include screwdrivers, wrenches, Allen wrenches, and an air pump. All you have to do is drop by, lift your bike into the prongs, and get to work.

The University of Miami installed this as a part of a private initiative to improve student wellness. Perhaps these students sporting University of Miami apparel are more likely to ride their bikes to campus, knowing that they can fix the easy problems with a simple stop at the self-service station.

Maybe more students would ride their bikes around the country if they were on every campus. Perhaps it could become "the thing to do."

"Raising Canes" was a documentary series designed to give you a look into what it makes to make a successful team at the U of M. That documentary caught the attention of the Tellys.

So congratulations to the U of M for bringing home such a prestigious award. Their work will continue to draw support from fans everywhere.
