Lo-fi encourages, excites & promotes the enjoyment of human-powered activities. Lo-fi believes that human-powered activities should be physically, emotionally, and mentally rewarding and, most importantly, they should be fun. We are not alone in our belief that over time, human-powered activities such as riding a bicycle, walking, or jumping around on a pogo stick can make people happier, healthier, and strengthen ties within our communities. By engaging in the fun of getting up, getting out, and getting active, we can inspire even more people to follow suit. This not only improves our lives, but can radically change the world around us
