What's Happening
What is the Kineticycle trend?
Kineticycle: Previously a means for urbanites to commute with ease, bicycles have progressed to the point of hyper-efficiency by capturing the energy exerted for superfluous use. Cyclists are translating peddling energy to everything from device charging to full-on house powering, which decreases a dependancy on the grid.
