Spinning into Electricity Grid

Love this. I love this because I used to be a spinning instructor and can appreciate how difficult it is to motivate people to get on those bikes and keep spinning hard to get a great workout.

I read about this in the Globe and Mail earlier in the week and just remembered I wanted to check it out. So this company, Green Revolution Inc., has created this technology to attach to spinning bikes that creates electricity to feed back into the spinning facility! The company's mission is to involve people in the process of creating clean renewable energy from human activity. Now while people are getting a great workout, they can also have a positive impact on the environment by creating clean electricity that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to connect a healthy body with a healthy planet.

Can you imagine if the class participants weren't working hard enough during the workout and the lights started to flicker and shut off? Ha!
