Although technically accurate, I found your answer incomplete. It's true, you can't power a refrigerator with a bicycle. As an amateur racer, I can put out about 300 watts for an hour before collapsing. Even Lance Armstrong can manage only 500 watts over that period of time. However, if I use that bicycle to instead make a trip of 25 miles, I save about one gallon of gasoline. That amount of gas could power a 2000-watt generator for 12 hours. When you look at the entire system, you see that bicycles are great for personal transportation versus (relatively) energy-inefficient automobiles. The fuel saved can then be used more efficiently to generate electricity. </DIV> <STRONG><DIV>Marilyn responds: </DIV> <BR /> So true, Trevor. Thanks for the reminder.</STRONG></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/36ABA038-5D54-49FE-AE64-71BE9305E78B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
