Latrobe Community Health Service offers a blender bike for hire to add some excitement and fun to your next function. As you pedal the bike, it powers the blender.

The aim of the Blender Bike is to teach people how to make healthy snacks, such as smoothies and dips, while having fun and being active. Download the flyer for more information.
