I saw this poster at CityBar and thought it was a hilarious and fun way to try and get people to come together and raise awareness for alternative energy while saving a bit of plant-generated electricity through exercise.
This reminds me of something I saw online a while ago about green gyms that use human-powered equipment to generate electricity.
Kits to create your own electricity-generating bicycle are available for sale for personal use, but they’re currently very expensive. The most basic kit that I could find is pictured below and selling for $850 USD (bicycle not included!).

If electricity-generating home workout machines were more widely available and affordable, I think people would be excited to buy them. Most workout machines would give the user a nearly identical user experience whether or not they generated electricity when used. While some machines like electric treadmills would function differently, stationary bicycles and elliptical seem like they’re perfect for this purpose.
