You Can Eat Bike-Powered Soup at Cortelyou’s Greenmarket

This Sunday’s Cortelyou Greenmarket has a couple of cool novelties, one of which sounds particularly out there and awesome. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, a bike blender will be cooking pedal-puree soup with seasonal ingredients from Greenmarket vendors. The soup will be paired with bread baked using a solar-powered oven.

Sustainable Flatbush, who worked with ConEd to make the bike and oven possible, invited the neighborhood to the event:

The Bike Blender offers a perfect way to encourage sustainability — get a little exercise while saving electricity, to make a warm healthy treat that’s just right for a winter day.

It’s hard not to want to take a spin and taste.
