Foot Power

What could be greener than giving batteries the pass in favor of a totally renewable power source: You!

Who needs batteries when you’ve got feet and a pair of wheels? The EcoXPower system turns your pedaling into energy for an ultra-bright LED headlight and a mounted smartphone charger. The handlebar-mounted charger case is touchscreen-friendly and water-resistant to help protect your gear from an unexpected splash or shower. It’s a perfect solution for cyclists tired of constantly buying new batteries for their lights, or who appreciate the eco-mindedness of turning their ride into a bona-fide energy source. Once you’ve got your new gear, you might want to look into joining a local bike club or ride schedule — you never know who you’re going to meet or where your 2-wheeled adventures will take you in and around the city; $99.99, EcoXGear.com.
