Using bumpy rides to power your bicycles

Riding on bumpy roads where often an inspiration for vituperative remarks. Now here's one who looked at the positive side. Kanak Das (29 yrs old), hailing from Mori Hira Gaon, Morigaon, Assam, has devised a way to convert those bumpy rides to pleasure rides. On August 15, 1999, he hit upon an idea where he thought using the energy from those bumpy rides to propel the rear wheel. After he few attempts he managed to create one. The mechanical energy from the bumps is stored in a battery of six springs placed under the pedal. The result is a cycle that does not slow down when it hit bumps but accelerates from the power generated from the bumps.

Now, wouldn't one wish to have a bumper pleasure ride.
