Happy holidays everyone! When the ball drops this year in New York City, remember that it is bicycle powered:
The ritual dropping of the ball in New York’s Times Square on New Year’s eve, seen on television by millions around the world, is becoming a bit greener than in years past.
The 2-0-0-9 sign that will light up when the New Year’s ball finishes its descent will be powered by batteries charged by people pedaling on bicycles.
Let’s hope the whole event this year will be powered by bikes (so far they’ve collected 35% of the necessary power).
