Our Light Bike

Energy Bike Photo

Business Entrepreneur Richard Branson, of the Virgin
organization, and actress Darryl Hannah, are among the first to check
out our "light bike" at the Virgin Festival, in Baltimore in early
August of 2007. We had this bike custom made to demonstrate alternative
forms of power. If you ride the bike, you have a choice to power the
traditional incandescent light or the compact fluorescent. You will
quickly learn that in order to power the traditional bulb, you will
have to work about four times as hard as if you were pedaling the
compact fluorescent light. It is a very tangible lesson in saving
energy and symbolic of our new green building.
