Help MIT Students Test Outdoor Bicycle Training Device
Written by Boston Biker on Nov 14From the email, looks like fun!
———-
We are engineering students at MIT who are building a device (Terrainer) for competitive cyclists to train outdoors. To further improve our project, we are looking for competitive cyclists to help test and provide feedback on our product.
We would really appreciate it if you can help us with our first round of testing this weekend outside Z-Center on the opposite side of its Vassar entrance, closer to Kresge (120 Vassar, Cambridge, MA 02139) or inside Z-Center if raining:
Friday, 10am-8pm (except 1-2pm)
Saturday, 10am-6pm
Sunday, 10am-8pm
Below is a doodle so you can sign up for a 15-min slot with your availability: http://doodle.com/
We will provide a bike and a prototype, so you will not need to bring anything else.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We appreciate your time!
Best,
MIT Terrainer Development Team
