You can harness your heavy pedaling and generate some juice for your cell phone. With this nifty bike mod you can ride around all day and never worry about your phone dying on you. All you need is a cheap hand crank radio or flash light that has a USB port. We will strip it down a bit and connect it to our bike tire for optimal charging power!

So what do you think? Clearly this wouldn't be sustainable or even practical. But is there a place for on bike charging docks for phones, iPods, electronic shifting???

So this is obviously lame, but a stealthy usb port that is powered from in the hus or BB would ablually be kinda sweet. maybe for a headlight or blinker...
