So with rising fuel costs, when can we expect to see cyclists selling their services to E-On?

Funny you should say that. I've always wondered how much electricity could be made from replacing the resistance units on the rowing machines, bikes, etc in the gyms with generators! Esentially the same thing, just making electricity instead of heat!

250W per piece of exersise equipment ish? I'd be a better return than shuving a wind small turbine on the roof for a popular gym!
