Using a bike to power your TV or computer?

[JEDI]

With all these couch pototoes, i'm surprised noone has marketed this idea.

basically, to power your tv or computer, you have to pedal.

i did a quick search and there are some people who made their own, and a link to ABC news that doesnt work.

What do you think of the idea of biking to watch TV or use the computer?

You're certainly not the first.

Also, if this is accurate any decent sized CRT would be hard to power.

I'd use the computer a lot less.
