Hi all,
If you are like me and cannot afford solar/wind power etc and you don't mind crunching gears on a bicycle you should seriously consider generating power from a simple source like the humble bicycle
I've yet to build as I still have to talk to a few people more in the know concerning the motors and batterys etc here in Oz.

Hope this of help to people that like myself are not as "financially well off" as others (financially well off sorta makes me chuckle given the recent happenings)
All the best!
