Exercise AND Wash Laundry with this Amazing Eco-Friendly Bicycle
Housework? We all have to do it. Exercise? We all need it. Staying eco-friendly? We should all get involved.
Some days, it feels like the washing is never-ending, especially when you have a family, yet the motivation to accomplish mundane tasks is often hard to muster.
But now, thanks to an invention designed by students in China, you can do the laundry and exercise. With a halo on your head, for good measure.
The Bike Washing Machine (or BiWa, as the students have dubbed it) is a human-powered washing machine that encourages you to multitask and conserve water while boosting your fitness in a fun, efficient way.
The innovative bike – which is available soon – was designed by students at Dalian Nationalities University in China.
The pedals help spin and rotate the front wheel, which doubles as a clothing drum. Any excess energy created whilst burning off calories is used to power a display screen that keeps the cyclist aware of the wash cycle’s progress.
When family members or flatmates have excess energy to burn off, get them to cycle, too, as excess energy can be stored for a subsequent use.
One of life’s most common complaints is that people just ‘don’t have enough time.’ This neat invention not only frees up extra minutes, it inspires you to get active while completing household chores.
And, for college students and families on a budget, the bike can save money long-term, as there are fewer trips to the laundrette, as well as less pennies chucked in the meter.
