There's some cool stuff out there for us cyclists... here's a small first post sampling some of it:

Wind-Powered Bike Light
This is such a good idea. We all know that there is always a "bikewind" when riding your bike (even on really hot humid days like this week), so why not put that wind energy to good use?

Self Charging Pedal Lights
Very cool pedal lights that have mini-generators in them that produce energy as you crank and crank and crank. Never worry about batteries!

Sonic Grips
A bike bell built into a bike grip... a pretty cool idea that I'm surprised no one has come up with before now. (via Spinopsys)

...except that the wind powered bike light will, for the same amount of energy delivered, create the same extra drag as a dynamo generator. You get nothing for nothing.
