Pedal-powered art installation glows bright with renewable energy

Besides burning them extra calories and giving you Greek-God like calf muscles, pedal power these days serves the purpose of lighting up art installations too! Take this fabulous piece of art that delivers an eco-friendly message unlike any other. Set up by artist Bruce Munro and designer James Augustini, this geodesic dome structure sports little twinkling lights that shine bright to entrance you as you pedal away to glory. The lights, hooked up to the stationary bicycle, are powered by energy generated by pedaling the bike. A great way to spread eco-consciousness coupled with an inspiration to use renewable energy, this art installation drives the message right home!
