If a bicycle built for two catches your eye, how about a bicycle built for nine? That’s exactly what people will see – and ride – at this year’s Republican and Democratic national conventions, courtesy of health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM).
Keeping with its tradition of making healthy things fun and fun things healthy, Humana will bring 20 Freewheelin pedal buses – or “bus-cycles” – to Tampa during the Republican National Convention (RNC) from August 26-30 and to Charlotte during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) from September 2-6. Each pedal bus, which can accommodate eight people and a driver provided by Freewheelin, offers a healthy, fun and environmentally friendly way to get around the host cities.
