designers’ own words: ‘nowadays, using a bicycle is in tune with finding recycled energy and preserving the environment. ‘re:energy’ is a type of generator from a bicycle. when it is being pedaled, the rotational energy gets collected in the front where where there is a socket to charge small electrical devices.’
