This is pretty darn neat, I suggest everyone checks it out: http://www.gulland.ca/homenergy/lindabike.htm

Quality looking work.

Now I can post this similar item, which I've been saving for some reason: Pedal Powered Television...

Almost forgot!

Ecomodder member Frank (maker of the Kawasaki EV conversion Dirt-E Bike... ) has made one of these.

Check his site: Human Powered Recumbent Generator - "Bent Genny"

I think the Bent Genny was featured on the Make Blog too.

A bent generator is the way to go if you are using it to power your TV.

That way you are in a nice, relaxed position.

I tried a recumbent exercise bike a few years ago in a friends living room. It was no problem pedaling for and entire sitcom.

A combination Lazy-Boy/recumbent generator would be perfect.

Except when you get sweaty and start sliming around on the pleather :P
