Bench powers street lamp with pedal energy

Are park benches a bit too boring for you? Well, here’s a way to spend your “parked” hours constructively, by burning a bit of that flab, and generating a bit of energy at the same time. We’ve seen exercise bikes that generate energy before. This one goes forward to hook up to a streetlight and juice it up too. Users are required to pedal away to glory as the bike-bench then stores all the energy in a battery. This can then be put to use later, to light up the streetlamp. Designed by Bharat Bhargava, a post-graduate design student at Central Saint Martin’s in London, this concept offspring of a bike, a bench, an exercise machine and a streetlamp is worth a second glance!

A great way to generate some green energy coupled with all the peace of mind your time in a park could lend you, we simply love this concept!
