I read it the other way, 15 minutes pedalling = 1 hour talking

Reread it. You pedal 15 minutes to talk for an hour. Cool concept. Maybe we should try this here in the states?
Hmm. Charge the cell phones with bicycles. Teens will talk less on the cells and exercise more!

Thats kind of what I thought, save on your electric bill and get some exercise, but do it for more things than just your phone. "Honey, I have to get on the trainer, we have laundry to do..." actually, I think a treadmill or bicycle powered tv would be an excellent idea.

yeah, most are, but there are those that you have to propell it yourself. Really I'm thinking of the concept "you can only watch TV after you've exercised" imagine the obesity rate!

You'd be better stick with a reglar small screen TV. You'd have to pedal a lot harder to power a big screen HDTV.
