Nokia's bike-powered cell phone chargers are being introduced this summer to try and influence people to travel by bike and be more environmentally conscious. The pedal powered cell chargers can actually power quite a bit of cell phone time, claiming that just 10 minutes of biking at 6mph can give the user up to 28 minutes of talking time (which translates into 37 hours of standby time--not bad).
The first batch of Nokia's bike-powered cell phone chargers will be available in Kenya, and worldwide following that release.
