Some of you may know that I no longer own a vehicle. My main mode of transportation is a bike (and no I don't wear my helmet as much as I should). I take the bus when it's raining (really great people watching (and smelling)). Hitch rides from my friends to far off places and tomorrow I will be taking on a rental car for the first time.
It's been over two months, and I love not having a car. Sometimes inconvenient, a little challenging, but overall WAAAYYY worth it. Now granted I live in a really great area for biking, I work less then 5 miles away from my apartment and everything I need is basically in walking distance.
Anyway, I was at brunch with some friends over the weekend and Aaron C. started talking about a house he was working on that was going to be on cribs. No it's not actually a famous person's house but someone whos house is "green" or environmently friendy.

So it got me thinking what about a room in that house, where there are like ten bicylers (however many it took) who where at your beckoning call to peddle whenever you needed electricity, basically always? Besides being "green" it would solve a lot of our nations problems right, like poverity (jobs for the needy), obesity (biking is GREAT exercise).
Some rich person get on this idea, cause I would really really love to see it!
