Some people are using bicycle to generate power to use at a desk while working, and have successfully funded a kick starter to spread the concept.

I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I hink this is a better idea than the treadmill desk for a lot of tasks because your head and upper body stays stationary making reading and computing a lot easier.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
