We create energy in our everyday lives, which when unharnessed goes unused. I’ve been seeing many designers coming up with ingenious ways to capture this energy and use it for the purpose of powering something which conventionally required electric or battery power. Designer, Deco Goodman, is no exception. Goodman created a headlight and tail light for a bicycle that is powered by the energy created when you pedal your bicycle. The lights get their power from the energy collected by spring movements in the seats and a wheel mounted generator system. There is an additional battery being charged which can be later used to power your cell phone or iPod. Check out Deco Goodman’s website for more product info.

Very cool! I need some lights for my bike now that it’s getting dark earlier, will definitely keep these in mind as an option

This is awesome! I am thinking about training for a triathlon at the beginning of 2009, maybe I will get one of these for Christmas to put on my bike when I am training.
Thank you for the great post!

I’m not sure if these are available just yet so you may have to wait before you can spoil your bike. I would love to have this on my road bike for all the late night rides.
