Bikeville’s pedal power generator

I mentioned in an earlier post that Bikeville has a new pedal power generator that will be used at events throughout the month. At the Downtown Farmer’s Market this weekend, Bikeville’s Andrew Meeker took this photo of City Councilman David Sudduth generating a bit of electricity (on a bamboo bike).

Stop by any of the bike valet stations or other planned events this month to see the power generator in action. Better yet, plan to get on the special trainer mounted bike and generate a little power yourself. It certainly looks like Mr. Sudduth enjoyed his turn creating a little electricity…I bet you will too.

Update: The bamboo bike pictured is a Hilltribe by Phil Webb -www.bamboobikemaker.com. Thanks to TTR Bikes!
