The Charge Cycle, to be launched by early May 2013, is a Kickstarter project leasing 30 stationary bikes equipped with a phone charger that will allow anyone to charge their phone using pedal power for free. Pledge funds to the project to decide where the bikes will be located and how long they will be leased for. Check out a video from the project's creators explaining how it works below
