Build a bike-powered iPod charger
Geek Technique published an item outlining how to build a bike-powered iPod charger. Basically, it uses a modified version of the ever-popular wheel powered generator, so I wouldn’t expect to see this thing on trails on anyone’s xc or dh rigs, but it’s still a novel use of technology. But if you do go ahead and do this project on your own, don’t hesitate to send your images along and I’ll post them up here.
And for another crash-inducing iPod item to affix to your bike, you could try out the iPod bike mount. Personally, I’d prefer to keep my music player a little less, well, exposed when I’m listening to tunes while rolling down the road but, hey, maybe I’m a nut.
