Cycling Scientists

Two entrepreneurs from my science circus team have just put together their own unique travelling science show.

Their plan is to travel 3000km from Townsville to the tip of Cape York on their bicycles conducting science shows and workshops.

Whilst spending seven months meandering up the coast of Queensland these crazy cats plan to visit over 60 schools, teaching the lucky students all about energy.

Their idea originated about three quarters of the way through 2007, and they have spent the last six months writing proposals, plans and ideas so that they could find sponsorship and funding for the expedition. So far they have received enough to purchase bikes, props and a mad website http://www.cyclingscientists.com/. Its sounds like too much fun. Good luck guys. Keep the photos coming and you blog updated!

On a side note Chris and Danene, the two circus freaks turned cycling scientists, were the impetus behind our 970km bike ride from Questacon, Canberra to Fedaration Square, Melboune.
