Charge of the bike brigade: the Pedal & Power phone charger
The dynamo is back — With a 21st century makeover.
The British designed 'Pedal & Power' kit is a neat little gadget that clips on to your bike and charges up your phone's battery as you pump away, allowing you not only to avoid connecting to "the grid", but also letting you charge when you're out and about, and most vulnerable to running out of juice.
In around 70 minutes, Pedal & Power can fully charge most mobiles, and since it works on any device that can be plugged into a car's lighter socket, will also work on your PDA, MP3 player or digital camera. Even better, it's only £24.95, which is litte more than certain phone outlets ask for a standard wall charger.
Now, all that's needed is a hairdryer attachment that sets your curls and perfects your "do" on the way into work, and we've got a perfect candidate for Shiny Shiny...;-)
