My first bicycle apparatus! When you ride the bike it goes forward, when you stop and pedal backwards the blender goes at very high rpms. :)

I stuff the racks full of groceries and take it out in the summer to parks and events where i blend up bananna peanut butter smoothies and cranberry strawberry daiquiris. The comments from people when they realize that i DON'T have to plug it in have made me want to create the generator bicycle.

This iteration (number three) is made from the most durable components i could get. I dismantled and remachined an angle grinder for the 90degree drive unit. So far the ice crushes fine.
