Several renditions of the bike logo have been created by the students. After some trial and error, they decided to go for one that will likely be 8 feet in length.
Wilkin County Highway Engineer Tom Richels recently saw some preliminary sketches and was impressed. Although he hasn't spoken to Goldade yet, he said the department would like the students to create a wood stencil of the idea.
"Then we could actually paint them permanently on the bike path," he said. "They did a very nice job."
Goldade said his students have been doing the calculations for years, but now they finally have a practical use for it.
"They were excited," he said. "They're getting to use this math somewhere besides the chalkboard.
