  1. Just come back from a 17km peddly ride. Tbh it’s a brand new pedal assist hybrid bike but even so, playing with gears and pushing to keep up 24kmh/hour average was quite a workout for me.

    It’s been years since I’ve done this and my heart rate told me so. I now remember was jelly legs is, hahahaha.

    I’ll take a day or two off before doing it again I think.

  4. "Since the bicycle demands little material and energy resources, it contributes little to pollution and causes of death or injury, makes a positive contribution to health and can be considered the most benevolent of machines." - S. S. Wilson #RideBikes #PedalPower #Sustainability #Bicycles

  5. Deze 90s mtb vond ik op straat. Heb hem een jaar stil zien staan met lekke banden in het rek voor de daklozenopvang.
    ..eens kijken wat er nog te redden valt :)

  6. Wax+Gears is Futureyard's annual pedal-powered gig.

    Here's a photo of a few of us putting a stint in on the bike generators, during Campfire Social's set.

  7. I liked this old school #red #bicycle & the #DIY safety striping, front basket & milk crate cargo add-on.
    At the event last night, I'd say about 1/3 of almost 200 audience had cycled to event - gauging from amount of folks I saw carrying bicycle helmets.

  9. So, one of my anti-nuclear buddies who lives in Vermont had an interesting set-up. If you wanted to watch TV (which was a small portable one that ran on DC/batteries), one would have to get on the exercise bike and generate electricity! I kind of liked that idea. I have an old exercise bike (an old DP Pacer that I found at a free-pile on a country road), that I've been thinking of adapting to produce electricity.

    How Pedaling a Bike Can Generate Electricity for Your Home: A Simple Guide

    Updated: October 12, 2023 by Henry Harvey

    "Are you looking for a simple and sustainable way to generate electricity for your home? Look no further than your own bicycle! Pedaling a bike can generate enough electricity to power small appliances, charge your phone, and even assist in powering your entire home. This eco-friendly and cost-effective method is gaining popularity among individuals who want to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their energy bills.

    "Pedaling bicycles to generate electricity is not a new concept. However, recent advancements in technology have made it more accessible and efficient. With the use of a stationary bike stand and a generator or battery storage system, you can easily convert your pedaling energy to electrical energy. Plus, it’s a great way to stay healthy and active while simultaneously contributing to a more sustainable future. This simple guide will provide you with all the information you need to get started on harnessing the power of your pedal power.

    "Setting up a bike-powered generator is not difficult and can be accomplished with a few simple steps. To begin, you will need a stationary bike [or a stable bicycle stand], a generator, and a #PowerInverter. The first step is to connect the generator to the bike’s rear wheel. This can be done using a simple bracket that attaches to the frame and holds the generator in place.

    "Next, you will need to connect the generator to the power inverter, which will convert the kinetic energy generated by your pedaling into usable electricity for your home.

    "Finally, connect the inverter to an appliance or device that you want to power. With your new bike-powered generator, you’ll be able to use clean, #renewable energy to power your home and reduce your carbon footprint. Plus, cycling on your stationary bike will have new added benefits aside from keeping your fitness levels in check!"

  10. Last weekend, Transition IG3 and residents of Talbot Road in east London organised a ‘Play Street’.

    Children with scooters, bikes, bubbles and chalk took over the street as the road was closed to cars for the day, and residents of all ages shared food and chat, pedal powered music and made a mural of what their street could be like in 2030.

    One of the organisers, Rakesh, said: “was great to see so many kids enjoying playing on the road, and neighbours talking to each other.”

    Ever wanted to try a #playstreet in your neighbourhood? Get more inspiration from Sustainable St Albans, a Transition group helping communities throughout their district organise Play Streets, and from get support and advice from national organisation Playing Out.

  11. Many thanks for every one of you who have encouraged me to not give up on the possibility of pedalling pleasure.
    I have been inspired enough to hunt online - and discovered that our local council actually ran free courses for adult beginners - however they have had to stop because there was too much demand. You can add your name to a waiting list, and, I guess, wait. However it does not say how long for. And the word "stop" seems pretty final.
