ipodbikecharger.jpgA while back we brought you news of Geek Technique’s DIY Wind-up iPod Charger. Now Mark Hoekstra is back, with a further adaptation of the concept. This time he takes a notebook battery, a mouse, a bicycle dynamo and sets out to fashion himself a bicycle charger for his iPod mini. Does it work? Well, not at first, but Mark is persistent and eventually gets a positive result and his testing continues on. Check out the multitude of pics portraying how he fabricated this little wonder. ::Geek Technique

Cute idea, but its still very unsafe to be walking or cycling with headphones on. But it's not like anyone cares about personal saftey these days.
