Only run the generator when you are not peddling so the power is free.

All totally moronic comments aside, another great alternative to a

DC fan and strap that on your back.

Ever see that clip of the guy who strapped rockets to his back and
attempted to ride a bike?


That's where the expression "that really burns my butt" came from !!

Actually the solution is to put a pickup coil on the bottom of the
bike and magnets in the road -- the faster you go, the more
energy you get from the "linear generator" (and if you don't get
enough that way, you can use an amplifier). ..... WHAT ??
there is a problem with that reasoning ??? ;-)
