Cycle-In Cinema

What a fantastic idea. A group in London has developed a concept called the Cycle-In Cinema, a pop up movie theater that is fully powered by the audience on bikes. It’s the Drive-In theater redone, and much greener. (Plus, you don’t have to feel guilty ordering popcorn since you’re burning off calories for over an hour!)

Once you arrive on your bike, you just plug in to a generator to help power the screening. The audio can be transmitted to you on your iPhone. 

What I love most about this is how scalable it can be for any city around the world - the venue used can be an actual building, or even a local city park. I just emailed them to volunteer to start the first Cycle-In screening in San Francisco. I think it would be a hit here, given how many people are eco fanatics and have bikes. You can volunteer to help get your city involved here.

    No slackers though, especially...those three-hour epics!
