We’d like to show the side of the world you don’t normally see on television.

Bicycle powered building !

The numbers would have to be crunched to find the efficiencies but...a rough
concept would be for buildings of a certain size to open FREE spinning classes.
Why would a building open free spinning classes?...Because all of the bikes would be
hooked up to generators to provide power! You might only have to pay for set up, maintenance. You might be able to creatively get spinning instructors for no charge!
This idea could be developed in many ways.

I'm going to find you a link to a gym in Portland OR that does that... and the device, pedal and hand cranks make it very powerful. But you'll be tired in like 10 minutes!!!

I like to dream big too. Thanks. My latest dream was to save the power of biking as compressed air, then the little tanks could be attached to what ever needs power. I think I'd like a compressed air Bird Man flight suit, where the my muscles and the compressed air combine to power huge wings. I like to dream...
