utility dreams
Hello. I've got some ideas about utility cycling, and I'd like to get some feedback.
First idea: A bicycle yoke that connects 2+ bikes to haul bigger loads. Part of the idea would be small generators attached to each bike yoked together that would create power to operate the electronic brakes of the trailer. Maybe only the lead biker would have the main trailer brake. Anyway, a small generator attached to a bike might be good in a third world situation, as one could maybe put some charge into a car battery or something on one's daily routine and then charge devices with it.
Second idea: Pedal powered agriculture. Essentially, multiple persons would provide pedal power to accomplish small-scale agricultural tasks. Maybe there would be a moving platform with multiple persons on top who are all pedaling to mow hay, or pick two rows of maize, or whatever.
If anyone has any feedback or things I should look at, let me know. Any and all replies are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
