 Are the regular mics on? I would like to only use the pedal power tonight, if possible, please. Thank you. Alright, I think that sounds like it's only coming from one source, which is this bike. So normally when you ride a bike around town, both wheels are on the ground. You've got the front wheel for steering, and then you've got the rear wheel for going. And this is a regular bike. Actually, Mia dropped me off from her neighborhood today. I rode here from East Van, but this bike also has a special purpose. So when we elevate the rear wheel in the air, we are able to tap the power that normally goes into transportation. And that actually happens right in the middle of the rear wheel. You can't see it because it's concealed by the speaker, but right in the middle of the rear wheel is a big fat hub. Normally there are little small hubs on a bicycle. This one's big and fat because it's loaded up with magnets and coils. And when Mia pedals, when she's pedaling, she's forcing the magnets to move past the coils, which creates an electric field. That's like a high pressure area of electrons, and they have to go somewhere. And in this case they go into our pedal power utility box, which has within it some circuitry and a small storage tank for energy called an ultra-capacitor. And then the ultra-capacitor feeds the amplifier, and I'm able to use the power of amplification and speak to you. And when we do music events, we use the power of amplification and get our music out, the lyrics hurt, get the bass felt. And what's happening right now, Mia's putting in only about 40 to 50 watts of effort, which is the same amount of effort that you put in when you're riding a bike around town. Of course, it's more when you're climbing a hill and less when you're just descending. So she's doing about 40 to 50 watts of effort. And this technology scales very well. In fact, this weekend in Eugene, Oregon, we're going to be part of the Bicycle Music Festival of Eugene, and there's going to be 12 peddlers, not just one. And so when we have 12 peddlers, we can produce a true festival stage with subwoofers and a line array hanging and proper stage monitor so that the bands can hear themselves sing. So we're using the power of amplification. Amplification has changed the game of music. Really, starting around the 50s, amplification gave us the Beatles. Later gave us hip hop, and we're never going to go back to a time before amplification, but with pedal power, we're able to introduce this interesting new constraint, which is that you can only use as much amplification as is provided by the people peddling. And when the rock thing happened, it started changing the experience of music. It started changing what music was all about. And people started saying things like, oh, I went to an awesome concert. I got rocked. And getting rocked is great because the speakers hit us on our chest and get us to feel the beat and feel the music. But getting rocked is passive. It's passive voice. And what we're saying with our pedal-powered music events is we don't want you to get rocked. We want you to get up early in the morning, have coffee with us, load some bikes with us. Let's strap the speakers down to these bikes so that they don't move around when we're going through the city. Now we're on the bikes. Now we're cruising through the town as a pack with the beat on because we have batteries to help us listen along the way to keep our spirits up so that we arrive with a good attitude and good energy. Now we're at our festival venue. Maybe it's a park. Maybe it's a fairgrounds or an auditorium. We're taking the speakers off the bike. We're putting them up on stands. Now it's time to test the system. Now it's time to get some good, clean pedal-power flowing. We need 10 people on the bikes. Let's raise and lower the seats as needed so that we can get some power flowing. And maybe it's less about getting rocked, but it's more about we did it ourselves. And at the end of an experience like that, the effect of the music has been much stronger. Music is a gift to bring us together. The beat helps us work together. And at a pedal-powered show, all of that is much stronger. People have had their hearts opened literally by pedaling, by getting their heart going, and they're already moving. And so it helps get the dancing started. And what motivates me about this work is that pedal-power provides an example of teamwork that helps us have faith that our individual efforts can collectively matter, because one person alone cannot power a concert, but 10 people working together, 15 can. And we need to have that right now. We have some problems ahead that we're facing that are related to bicycling and transportation, things like global warming, for which we are going to have to work together. And we need to believe that we can do that, that when we do our individual action, i.e. pedaling, that it actually can have a collective event, a collective benefit that really matters. We like to ride long distances, carry heavy loads, remember to work that upper body so you don't look like a toad. Do some funky things to get your attention. That only serves to boost our knowledge and retention of the essential facts of our expertise that you can match us. Please rock the bike, rock the bike rider, starting with the cam straps. We like to coil them up when we're not using them, so we don't oil them up in the chains of our cargo bikes. And then we roll the long things, bundle hard and tight. I start to ride another rhyme. My thoughts are numerous. The face from the bike is boomerous. Extend my humorous. Cruel no letter rumor is true. We gots to do a gig on paid. Ride across town, sit up the pedal power stage, cause this is the hour and the age. Rock the bike rider. Where you riding to? Would you ride with your own and with you on your crew? Did you pack rockers or did you rate two? Cause one day the power might just cut on you to rock the bike rider. Where you riding to? Would you ride with your own and with you on your crew? Did you pack rockers or did you rate two? Some food from the fridge, some water in a metal bottle. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider. Rock the bike rider.
