You may remember an event from a Weekly Events post a couple weeks ago about WeloBike - a project to generate pedal-powered energy for non-profit organizations:
Created by Cyril Guerette, WeloBike is an organization dedicated to producing clean green energy to power the lights for non-profit, government, and corporate organizations. Each WeloBike can produce on average 50W/h of electricity (and upwards of 100W/h for experienced cyclists).

Our pilot project will be helping to power the lights at The Gateway homeless shelter in downtown Toronto with WeloBikes. We are inviting media and government officials. People will walk into the room in the dark (just floor lights). Once people begin biking the house lights come on ... we will keep track of how much power is generated druing the pilot project.

Well, they had the orientation, and invited me to share a couple photos with you, dear readers. :)


Fast Welo-Biker!
